Losing the lamb(s)....

Our sneaky little lambs kept getting out of their pen in our backyard so we decided to move them to the horse stalls. The horse stalls are very secure because Nancy our friend and host guest of last year tried to keep her dog back there but he ended up crawling up the hog paneling and jumping over. It made locking up the lambs at night difficult because you had to go through the horse door round them up in the same stall without letting them get out. Less then a week since there move out there, there was rain at night and nobody wanted to battle the elements to lock them up. One night they didn't get locked up and we can only assume that a bobcat got to Peaches our girl lamb. By morning her brother Cobbler had burred her face. I was devasted. I wish I had just locked them up.....such a sad ending.  Lambs should not live alone so I called a rancher friend and she took Cobbler in at least for a couple of weeks before she made a butcher appointment for him...I don't think I can do livestock again.....and should be vegetarian.
