Afternoon delight
Bijoux had a ewe lamb this afternoon. "B" is a new mother - she is not quite a year old herself. She did not clean the lamb really well, and seemed a little put off by it trying to nurse, so we left them alone for a couple hours to bond, and then moved them into a jug. "B" followed right along, and is very careful and gentle with her new young lady. Once we showed her why the lamb kept trying to latch onto her tender udder, she settled right down and let her nurse. They are getting along just fine now this evening. "B" even stood and let me milk her without restraint as long as the lamb was right there where she could touch it. The new little girl is named Joni - after Joni Eareckson-Tada. Her sire is Lanark.
