A baby sheep was born the other day!

I wanted to isolate the mother ewe so she could focus on giving birth, but she was so energetic that she ran around the pasture and I couldn't catch her.
As I watched my belly grow bigger day by day, I started to feel anxious.
We were concerned about "hypothermia" in our newborn lambs.
Newborn lambs drink their mother's colostrum to increase their body temperature.
If you cannot drink this for some reason, your body temperature will not rise and your survival rate will drop significantly.
Colostrum is known to be important in terms of acquiring immunity, but above all, it is necessary to prevent body temperature from dropping.

It seems that our worries were overdue, as the mother is doing a good job of raising her child and the baby is growing rapidly.
It's so cute now!
Please come and have a look.
