Over Confidence

We've been doing checks at night on the cameras. We seperated out the ewes we expected to have eminent lambs and at night that's the camera we have blown up on the TV. Well, that only works if you are all-knowing... One of the ewes on the other side lambed. We walked out this morning to do morning checks and there was a fresh lamb just laying in the feeder. Someone had cleaned off his face and I am pretty confident it wasn't his mother. So an hour before the bus is coming, Ellie and I scrambled to put together a small pen for this very uncertain duo. The ram lamb is an excellent size (about 6-7 lbs) and is very determined to eat. The ewe is a little uncertain of what is going on but is one of our easiest to handle. We managed to keep her still while her little guy fed and I imagine we'll be handling the two of them a lot over the next couple days.
