A rough morning of lambing. VLOG 191

[Music] [Music] now that for morning my hair is still wet in my shower last night that gives you any indication of how long I slept this is tasting really good this morning okay here you go [Applause] it's quiet there's some weddings that I just I'm scared to go in here or us dealer nope okay get these guys we're not a great morning so far I have a little lamb here that was born with not one not two not three but four to form to form legs completely hooked and unfortunately there is no paint rollers and that wrap that could perform that kind of miracle I noticed a you yesterday she had a little bit of gunk on her udder like a little bit of like what I would say looks like she had lambs but I looked at her and I'm like no there's nothing coming out of her vulva there's no discharge there's and she was as big as a tank so I left her and she was she wasn't pushing she wasn't actively in labor I never saw I never saw her get up and down and ever saw her paw I never saw her do any of the things well she's in the back and she's dead so I'm not sure if she was ramming and I should have checked and I'm just I'm really mad at myself right now because number one I got to figure out how to get her out cuz she's happy and she's full lambs so I don't know if one was stuck and I should have checked her but usually they present like usually there's something like even if there's not discharge there usually they usually lay down and they try to push that's why I helped that one you that had triplets yesterday because she wasn't showing anything but she was laying down and pushing so that to me means there's a problem so this is the first time that's happened to me this is the first time I've had a lamb with all four legs deformed I don't know if that's a Ram tree or something going on with my you I'm gonna have to go back on her numbers she's the 2017 youth so she's laying before it's just the old disappointing morning juice and then work preferably not in the eye we got some manis she had to this one's still wet hi sweetie I like your ears let's go find mom where'd she go she was right here you got one of each that's crazy I think mummy was a little promiscuous I think you had to know the France daddy antiseptic daddy got the moved in here everybody seems good I just have to check her milk it's looking like I have a little reprieve everybody's fed and quiet the bottle babies are on the machine really nice this morning which is one less job for me these guys are doing quite well the ones that were born this morning know the France Sepik oh you're not letting her drink oh I hope I got the right lamb I have to use my phone because my someone was taking some footage at a wedding this weekend and forgot her battery charger at the wedding last night these triplets with big momma we're drinking really well so they wouldn't take the bottle and today I'm trying to introduce the bottle again just to see which one I can pull off put on the machine there's only one that would latch on so that's this one so I will probably after lunch I'll have to pull him and after I've after I've recorded them pull him put him in in the pen for the evening let it get really hungry try it on the machine if it doesn't take the Machine then at least I should be able to get a bottle into it because it'll be hungry enough to take it but this is an example of when I almost should just leave all three on mum if I knew she would keep producing enough milk right now they're little so they're getting enough what I worry about is in two weeks because they're big Lambs I'm just afraid they're gonna be like mom does not have enough one goes backwards or dies and I could have been proactive and taken one and put on machines so this is the time when I really hate pulling them because because they're doing so well I think there's another set of triplets a couple pens down so I'm just taking the bottle and just introducing it to all of them to see if any have a sucking reflex and then after I record them at least I can pull one that will drink that's how I decide which one to pick is just the one that will drink makes my life easier when it comes to training lambs it's a terrible angle you're getting enough I guess mom you're too good makes my job hard I don't know who to pull you know monkey [Music] okay so it doesn't want any either but they both have a sucking reflex so that might come in handy all right let's try you you're the pig you wanting a march on your get no money smoke okay so that's a no-go the big ones so it's either gonna be this one or this one not the big one it's kind of nice having a part day of reprieve after a really big day like yesterday yesterday was intense [Music] okay we got a couple babies anyone claiming them good girl good mom settling in mom's full of milk so I'm gonna let them just find some one's got the jumps this you that is my favorite right now I just scanned her tag and she's lost her management egg so that's why I didn't realize who she was she is one of my original use that I bought in July of 2012 2012 so she is seven years old and I should see how many lambs she's had now I've only kept data since 2016 so since 2016 she has had she's had eleven Lambs since 2016 so 11 Lambs in three years yeah so she's done pretty good and she just fostered one so I love her even more [Music] okay I just finishing recording everything that was born up to today so far we're at 35 lambs 16 use so I fight my math right that's just a little over to two lambs per you that's pretty good so far but it's only day two 35 lambs that's it feels like there's been more someone's got a water bag here [Music] I'm going to help her and I will come back on when I'm done because YouTube does not like it when I show me performing labor and delivery so I will be right back hopefully okay it's promised there's a little bit of a pull but not too bad nice big lamb where we got a big boy good man and literally left for two minutes to get a hot chocolate and Miu's ma'am did you lamb you're stealing we've got one coming this you has a rupture like a hernia okay I think I think that's hers all right I gotta move them cuz trouble I'm just waiting for her I think she's close the nose she just needs to push the head out if you wait for them it takes them forever if I walk away they'll pop out so I'm gonna just free up a few more claiming pens that's kind of why I record as quick as I do so I can get them out of the Pens to make room for the new ones that was a pull the head was stuck in so I had to come and run and kind of get her in this little panic kind of blocked them off and pulled the pulled that white one out first and then the second one same thing has been Big Mama yesterday her head was curled in under so the feet were coming out but the head was way under so I had to get my hand under and pull the head up and then oh I gotta moved in there but it wasn't easy but two big Lambs so that's good these two are doing good looks like mom's quieted down and this one this little Suffolk lamb remember I wasn't sure if it was hers or not she was beating beating the living tar out of it so I grabbed it this one had just lammed the big one so she's still had a water bag and I just smeared it all over this lamb and she's she's fostered it so I'm two for two you're a good mom thank you guys I'm starving I may always decide to lay them right when I want to leave to go eat well good thing about the nest cameras is I can come right out when I see a lamb bad thing about the nest cameras is I got to come right out when I see a new Liam we got a lot of snow today there's no snow this morning this is how quickly it snows here but oh boy isn't she a beaut I love my roof pretty hi babies good mama here's the other ones oh my god this unknown there too okay let's get these organized so we got these two here with mum all doing good she's got milk we've got this win with with these two good milk and so I waited too long on those two sets of triplets and they will not take a bottle and they will not go on the machine so I put them back with mum she's in the corner there right there right there right behind you so this is the one I tried to put on the machine right there there you go this is getting pretty squishy in here so tomorrow I'll start taking some of these down and making the pen bigger coming this way but I wanted to give these guys 24 hours before I recorded them but yeah they're starting to need more space [Music]
