Bottle Feeding Lambs

Our bottle babies are doing great! They have all settled in and love each other, and their kids, very much. Smiley and Possibly love their bottles, but BamBam never really took to the bottle, he has always loved drinking from a bowl.

Getting lambs this year was a little bit of a concern to me, as I know absolutely nothing about Sheep, but it's turning out to be a wonderful experience!

We have moved the lambs outside into the pen, now that the temperatures are staying above 40° at nights. They really seem to enjoy having the room to run and play. They are nibbling leaves off the tree branches, the ones that the goats haven't completely nibbled bare anyway, and munching grass. We are giving them hay and creep feed along with their milk and BamBam loves it, while Smiley and Possibly aren't so sure! 

They are learning to come when called and BamBam is learning to work on his harness. Smiley, is coming along nicely on her harness as well, but she seems to have learned that if she throws a fit and lies down, AJ will get her a branch to munch while she walks with him. This is one habit we'll need to break quickly!
