The wonder of life

Hi to all that I have met on the Forums in the last week.

Something happened today that I just had to share .

I am lucky to live in the Country and have a large back yard so I have 2 Sheep to help keep the grass down also 1 Ram.The last week we noticed the 2 Ewe's were getting close to Lambing , this morning I looked out the window at around 7 am and noticed 1 Ewe lying down on her side . My first thought, as she wasn't moving was she had died in the night , so I rushed out side to see , then she struggled up, but she had started to give birth and the lambs head was hanging out, so I slowly walked her in to a yard close to the house and left her for a wile.

I kept a close eye on her and after about 1 hr. I could see that she needed help so after talking to a Farmer friend I decided I would need to help as the head was showing but the legs wern't & with some help from the Farmer the Lamb was born, but wasn't breathing so after some help with that as well things still didn't look good for the little fella, there wasn't anymore we could do , we left the Lamb with it's mother thinking it was dead.

About 1 hr. later I herd a faint noise like a lamb bleating , but very faint so went to look and found the lamb struggling to breath but still hanging on ,his mother wasn't showing any interest and he was shaking from the cold so I picked him up and took him inside to warm him , then got some milk from the mother and after 2 hrs got him to drink.

To finish up, he is back with his mother now and has fed by himself a couple of times .

That's one hell of a fight to live !
