An Assisted Lambing

Back in January my husband and I went to film some lambs being born, which was a story in itself (Nature Waits For No Man, Not Even A Camera Man).

Watch this video clip of an assisted lambing with two lambs being born and then the ewe bonding with her lambs only minutes later.

I hope you enjoyed watching Lazy Bones The Ewe giving birth and bonding with Sootie and Charcoal the Lambs.

  2. Hi Cynthia,

    Thanks for watching the video clip and commenting. Yes the lambs were quite big and needed a little assistance from the farmer.

  4. Hi Leanne,

    Thanks for the compliment. I’m glad you liked the film - yes it is abit emotional. The wonders of nature. I just think it is amazing how quick lambs and calves are able to fend for themselves.

  6. Hi BoggyWoggy,
    Watching baby animals in their first moments of life is a magical and priviledged experience. New life is a wonderful thing. Thanks for your comment and visiting.
