Skye

Farmer J is worried that Skye is not thriving. He thinks she is not nursing well. 

J went to the local farm store to get a lamb bottle. Can we hand milk Una and put that milk in her bottle? I'd rather do that than give her the lamb version of formula.  But then again, I've never hand milked a sheep! I know it's possible as I've eaten sheeps milk cheese.  

Hmmmmm...

Stay tuned and say a little prayer for baby girl, Skye!  

We have had this happen once before, years ago. Beatrix had twins and we weren't sure they were getting enough milk.  The lambs refused the bottle and found another alternative...they started nursing on Aoife! 

Ps: Little boy (a week old tomorrow) and Saoirse are doing great!
