I went out to the hayfield with the milk bottle to find Tula. To my surprise, I found her nursing from Babysheep. We have a bummer lamb! This is good for the most part. Tula now has a second source of milk which means that we won't have to feed her as often. We'll have to watch Babysheep now to make sure her triplets get enough milk from her. So far, Bootsy and Buzzy are competing well. The challenge will be for little Bambi to get in there and drink. Bambi is very small and timid, and we'll have to keep a close eye on her and perhaps supplement her with the bottle. She has also has an eye infection that we are treating morning and night. Like mother like daughter. We remember when Babysheep had the same problem when she was a little lamb. Anyhow, I gave Tula her milk; then Sharon and I spent some quality time out with the sheep during a beautiful sunset. It was a good day.
