[Jacob-list] Granny ewes

[MMATHIOW at aol.com]

I laughed when I read this because I have Fieldwood "Sally Field" 9240.  She 
was also sired by Fieldwood Ari and will be 9 in April.  She had twins on 
Tuesday and despite having a difficult time she is a wonderful mother.    Her 
ram lamb had trouble standing for a couple of days and old Sally would nudge 
him until he stood then she would get him between the barn wall and herself 
to stabilize him.  He's now a feisty three day old and she is frantic about 
getting out of the jug  so she can go back to being the matriarch of the 
flock.    At lambing time I have to always separate her from ewes with lambs 
or she would definatley take a couple for herself.
