Lost the lamb this morning. I was up with him for a few hours, and then left him to a blanket in the warm bathroom. He made it until around 5 this morning and then his heart just stopped. I don't know what made him turn from fine and eating a bottle with full energy at supper time and then again at 10PM and then limp in the corner at 2AM. All the other lambs are fine, though. I looked up some information online and most stats say the average loss during lambing season is 20-25% - it doesn't make it any easier. The Lion of March has stayed out of the forecast and hunted lambs instead, I guess.
I did get to sleep last night though, between 7pm-10PM, and again from 10PM-APM, and from 4AM -6:30AM. As the weather turns better I plan on sleeping through the night again by Sunday. They are predicting nearly sixty degrees by Tuesday. That is a very good thing for a little farm with little lambs. Kid from my two goats aren't due until late April or early May, but whose to say?
