Erin Go Shamus - It's a Boy!



Another lamb, this time a ram, popped out. This time on St Paddy's day. Lorraine came up with a name, Paddy. I suggested Shamus. His father is named Roderick, so Shamus from Roderick sounded good.



Unlike the last lamb, he was up immediately and eager to find mom for food. After Lorraine showed him where to go for that, he latched on and has been fine ever since.



I think Lorraine is relieved that she won't have to bottle feed.




Two more ewe's to go, probably early next week.
