Losing livestock is devastating in profits for farmers. The way we were going last year, lost 11 kids, 2 lambs, 1 ewe, and 1 doe, it looks like we started right where we left off last spring. It is heartbreaking watching the babies arrive and then not have a chance to make it. The first set of triplets was born 11 days early, so not being as ready as we should have been.....we lost two right of the bat, and the third is fighting for her life. Her first day went okay, took her home and her mom wanted her back. A night out in the barn, and she's worse than she was the first hour of her life. We are trying to get her warmed back up and eating again,
