Despite living in suburbia now, we have three little lambs in the garden. It seems you can take the man from the farm, but he remains a farmer! Jack rescued them and is bottle feeding them. I don't know if they'll all survive, we'll have to see how it goes. The farmer had assumed they would die, so if Jack can save even one of them, that's a bonus.
That's so lovely, I do hope they all survive, I would love that. I', guessing that you are not in the uk?

No, I’m in Bulawayo.
DeleteI think Dave would rescue lambs if he were at home. Living on the highway would be too dangerous for them without his loving supervision. I hope Jack's lambs do well!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, bless Jack’s cotton socks. Oh, hang on, that should be woollen socks now!!!
ReplyDeleteHope to survive. Incidentally, I have seen the Dorper live. A few of them were imported to Finland 7 years ago. New race here. 😊
ReplyDeleteOh that’s very interesting! Such different conditions, I wonder how they do there.
DeleteIn winter they are in a warm sheepfold and eat silage. It is a good crossbreed in meat production with our sheep.
DeleteOk, I’m sure you must get good hybrid vigour with a breed from far away.
DeleteWhat a kind heart!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the farmer's wife immortalises them in her modern classic doily!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted - hoping they all survive.
Such cute little lambs! I hope the'll grow strong and healthy.
