Squirt



Squirt is a BFL-Cotswold cross wether, he only weighed in at 2# at birth, I could hold him in my hand.I waited and waited for Jewell to have her lambs that warm spring day, but gave it up and went to the grocery store.As soon as I pulled in I saw everyone in the pasture standing over something, guess they were amazed at this tiny thing running around looking for lunch.He was way to small to reach his mom's milk bar, so I got my baby bottle out to feed him, Jewell hated that, she stomped and snorted at me.After about a week he was able to reach her and I could see Jewel smiling at me, she had her lamb all to herself. But he never forgot his first mom and still comes for chin scratches.Now he is a whopping 250#, or more, always good to have a bottle baby in a herd, the rest of the flock will follow him in when I need them.
