"Come on, mama!"...

When the lambs are found in the field, they have to be moved to the barn. Zachary picks up the lamb, lets mom smell it and then leads the ewe to the barn. As I watched one of the ewes would not follow, so the lamb was left in the field with her (they were brought in to the barn later that day). Occasionally a ewe will reject her lamb, requiring the lamb be bottle fed...or given as a "foster" lamb to a ewe who lost her lamb (yes, not all lambs survive birth).
