The last few days have not been the best for lambing. . . 3 still-born ram lambs.  Two of these were from the ewes (Sara and Rachel) I had tried to prevent from breeding last fall due to their small size. The third was from my dear Olivia, who was the largest of last year’s lambs. But when the rear instead of front legs – plural, is presented with the nose, all is not going to go through the birth canal properly. Rachel’s had NO legs presented.  I wasn’t around for the birth of Sara’s ram so don’t know the circumstances.  The good news is the ewes appear to be fine – though I’m watching them closely. My vet had an interesting insight – she said in about 90% of difficult births she has assisted with – whether it be goats, cattle, or sheep – the infant is a male.
