    I'm not that surprised, sure a milky ewe without a lamb is a pure waste. Had a younger ewe lamb today as well, she decided to reject her ram lamb. I left him into the pen with the other ewe, he went sucking, she grunted, both happy as pigs in you know what. There was no ewe lamb near me so I'll settle with that. Still feel it's a year lost, two really as she had twin ram lambs last year and I've been wanting ewe lambs out of her.
