Allan Laal
we now have 2 more healthy lambs! All 5 ewes all gave birth to a total of 6 lambs, from which 2 died at birth, 2 died a few days later and finally 2 of the bigger ones survived. The reason for such a large death toll is unknown, but other sheep herders in the area are experiencing similar losses.
