Well, you know what this post is going to be ;-).
I spent Saturday afternoon over at The Training Center in Paris, Kentucky, home to some of my favorite sheep (Ewen McTeagle, B. Willard and sweet Lorna Dune Buggy) and favorite shepherds, Vergil and Annmarie Holland.
They'd been watching a Scottish Blackface ewe and decided she needed some help. With the help of one of their Border Collies they were quickly able to catch her even out in the open field. Annmarie repositioned the lamb and pulled it. At first everything seemed fine, but they quickly realized it wasn't.
Without missing a beat, she started CPR (even mouth to mouth) and in the eternity that was actually only about five minutes, the little lamb finally started breathing and everyone took a big breath. I'd love to be that competent.
His first attempt to stand.
Meanwhile, back at the lamb bar...
I could have held this precious little lamb while she slept all afternoon. Nothing cuter. Nothing.
Well, maybe this freckled face.
Gotta love those good guard dogs. He's watching the new lamb - up and at it and doing just fine :-).
While we watched the older lambs race around.
Happy Easter!!!
For more Sunday Stills New Beginnings...

When I was a child we used to sit around the table at night and Dad would tell stories of his childhood on the farm. One of our favourite stories was "King of the Hill" and he told of how the lambs loved to run up on top of the pile.
Thanks for the video so I could actually see it.
