Lambs' First Days: Bonding, Care, and Family GroupsVideo: Lambs' First Days: Bonding, Care, and Family Groups
Close monitoring of lambs in the early days is extremely important. Today on Ewetopia Farms, we dive into the critical first days of lambs' lives during winter lambing season. Starting with feeding routines and water management, we highlight the importance of claiming pens (or lambing jugs) in fostering mother-lamb bonding and ensuring the lambs' survival. Watch as we handle tagging, sorting, and addressing challenges like a ewe rejecting her lamb. From family group dynamics to playful lambs and frozen waterers, see how we navigate life on a busy sheep farm in Canada. Don’t miss the arrival of a new Dorset lamb, as the cycle of lambing continues. Join us for another eventful day of shepherding!
