All of our lambs have graduated past the 15 lb mark, which means no daily weighings every morning, yay! It doesn’t sound like much of a chore but once they’re a week old they do NOT want to be caught but instead run around in a pack like hyper six year olds. Often it takes less than a week to get there but one was a bit smaller and one was a bottle baby that didn’t take to drinking from a bottle, so it was 10 days for the former and 14 for the latter. While my lambs were all born around 10 lbs and can gain over a pound a day, some just take a bit longer!
I keep forgetting to take pictures but here is the bottle baby trying to nurse even though his mama is not interested in triplets and he was the odd man out (born #3) 🙄
