[Jacob-list] squatting ewes/ premie?

[linda]

I guess this one may be a premie. Her hooves are solid now and normally formed.  They didn't 
exactly "turn up."  It was more as if they were soft and still malleable and you pinched the 
tips between your fingers.
I have a book somewhere that shows fetal lamb development.  I don't have the time or energy to 
look for it now.  What exactly would be other signs of a 2 week (or more) premature lamb?
