Grandma gave birth to three lambs at 1:30pm today--two females and one male. The large female and the male are doing well. The third female weighed in at only 6.0 lbs -- pretty small for a lamb. She is able to nurse but will need a little help from us by way of supplemental feedings with the bottle until she gains enough strength. Her temperature was slightly hypothermic and she doesn't have a good fat reserve. But Farmer Tom and Sharon are on top of the situation. We'll do all we can for her and keep this little one in our prayers that she makes it through the next week.
