December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.
Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!
Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.
I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
Awwww, not that is an adorable little face!
ReplyDeleteBeing a newborn ICU nurse, I am going 'oh,no he has to eat"!!! Have you tried a syringe and just squirt the milk in his mouth??? Sorry to be a worry wart...but I love all your babies from way down here...
ReplyDeleteFG will he take to the mama after having a bottle? Seems like our goat babies must do one or the other - cannot figure out both sources of food. Are you able to milk your sheep so he got the colostrum? I'm so full of question doesn't it bug the crud out of you? ROFL - I'm so funny I hurt myself - not really. Great picture - he looks quite unsure of how he feels about this world so far!
ReplyDeleteThis would make a great "Got Milk" Ad. :)

ps. Please do keep these gorgeous lamb photos coming...
That's the cutest pic yet. Something about his stubby little legs. He looks stubborn already. :)
ReplyDeleteTrouble drinking milk? If it was me I would add a little Nesquik,

ReplyDeleteI love his little milk face!
ReplyDeleteAwwww....that's it!!! I can't take it anymore! Well, almost. :) I just keep making and squeezing fists as I keep looking at your lamb pics! The dogs are scared to go near me, they're sick of being hugged and squeezed while I look at your photos! LOL Thanks always for those gorgeous pics!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this adorable little one learns to nurse soon. I keep stopping in for the cuteness of lambing season!
ReplyDeleteThat lamb is almost as cute as one of my babies with milk all over her face. :)
ReplyDeleteI found your blog recently while looking for a beer bread recipe (and by the way, yours was just what I was looking for--I've used up almost a whole pack of beer making it over and over again!). You are living my dream!! I would LOVE to have a farm and raise sheep someday!
The lamb is very cute. Thank you for sharing so I can live vicariously through you! LOL
So sweet! Like Beverly said - have you tried a syringe? I hope he gets hungry and eats soon!
ReplyDeleteLove his coloring! I suppose he'll fade to white though?
So cute! Your pictures remind me of farm life, and make me miss it!
ReplyDeletePlease let us know when he starts eating. As a Grandpa, it is my job to worry about all the little ones.

You are killing us with the cute, Susan. I just want to snuggle the adorable little things. All the little lambs. And the two other things, too.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I can't wait till we get our 4-H lambs next month. It always livens things up a bit here on the farm:)
ReplyDeleteHi Everybody,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments. I'm so glad you're enjoying the daily doses of cute. I'm really hoping to keep up with posting them - it's not like there's any shortage of cuteness around here, and I always take way more photos than I share with you. : )
As far as this little guy goes, I didn't mean to make some of you worry (Beverly, I tried to email you but the address blogger gave me wouldn't work). I should have made it more clear that he is doing just fine and started nursing on his own. He never would drink from a bottle, but I made sure to get some milk down him with a syringe (without the needle).
I'm still supplementing him with squirts of very creamy milk (straight out of the cow down the road) just to make sure he keeps his energy up.
What's interesting is that every time I give him the milk, he goes straight from me over to mom for a drink which is just what I want to see!
Linda Sue,
He definitely got some colostrum, though not as much as I would have liked. His mama didn't have a whole lot of milk at first, and I could only get a few drops at a time to come out when I tried milking her.

Yellow Dog,
Great to hear from you. You crack me up. That's all I need - a bunch of lambs addicted to flavored milk! ; )
Dawnie,
Thanks for letting me know you're enjoying my beer bread recipe so much!
Gramps,
You're so sweet. Sorry I made you worry! ; )
