Good news! At 12:30 am Issey was on his feet and looking for something to eat. He had his first bottle feeding while standing beside me in the pen and continues to grow stronger and more alert. He’s getting a lot of attention from us, but his mom is not showing much interest in him, although she seems to sense he belongs to her. It looks like we’ll have a bottle lamb, unless she has a change of heart. At least his brother seems bonded to him – from all the time spent together under the heat lamp.

Short post, I’m tired from barn checks all night. Eight more ewes to go. Thanks for the great ideas for names and also for your concern over Issey.
