[Jacob-list] lambing kits

[Gillian Fuqua]

	I am by no means a seasoned veteran but will pass on what I have  
learned.  Jacobs like to lamb by themselves.  I am not religious  
about midnight checking when the ewe looks close, but generally go on  
whether on not I think I will feel guilty if I don't.  This was only  
my third lambing season but the guilt factor was way lower.  The  
following is my very fancy lambing kit:  white paper towels, iodine,  
medicine dose cups to dip the umbilical cord, and rubber gloves.  I  
also make sure I know someone with lamb formula if I don't have any  
or in the case of rejection, hold mama and make her feed baby until I  
figure something out.  The las thing I have is the most important:   
PHONE NUMBERS OF MORE EXPERIENCED SHEPHERDS.  I also have the camera  
and the coffee.
	My friends with white sheep have many more supplies and seem to need  
them more often.  Ease of lambing is one of the best things about a  
primitive breed.  I hope this helps.
