It is been a long time since I had a bottle baby, but somehow, at 2 1/2 days old, WillowGarden Ellerslie, a Corland ewe lamb ... became a stranger to her mother. Mom bashes the poor wee girl around the jug, but Ellerslie persists. She was not having much luck getting milk from Mom, and seemed reluctant to take a bottle, so we have pulled her from her Mom and sister, at least until she'll take a bottle readily.
Being one of my Shetland / Cormo crosses, and a ewe, we'll be retaining her anyway. So ... we'll have a pet lamb in the back yard with the dogs for a while ... :-)
