239: Hungry Lamb


 Called into a friend's place after a walk in the countryside this morning- and they had a hungry lamb to feed. It was one of twins whose mother died.

  2. She was very very friendly before she was fed. Once she had a full belly again, people were of much less interest!

  3. Oh so cute! Don't name it, you will never be able to eat it!

  4. It's not mine- I was at a friend's house, and it does have a cute name already. But I think they will still eat it cos that is what farmers do!!!

  5. This is one of my dreams...to feed a lamb a bottle of milk. I am not even kidding! It has been on my dream list since I was a child. I had a stuffed animal named "lamby" that went with me everywhere. I am a smidgen jealous you got to do this!!!

  6. Becky, I wasn't actually doing the feeding, I was taking the photo! I was offered the opportunity to feed the lamb but I have done it before a few times. I imagine many New Zealand children grow up with enough contact with farms that feeding a lamb is part of their childhood. It was occasionally part of mine.
