To answer your other question:&lt;br /&gt;I had three yearlings lamb this year and one last year.  All have/had smallish utters and were nursing singles.  All the lambs are gaining well.  The lambs will get what they need for the most part, make sure you are keeping her well fed and hydrated.  Check his weight every couple days.  If he is round and warm and feeling like he is gaining you are fine.  I swear Duet's son is almost as big as she is and he is not even two weeks old - he is a tank and her utter is small.  A noisy lamb is a hungry one...listen for him.  Good luck, my yearlings are great moms but I know what you mean about worrying about them.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7773456048418044527/3420759775962143468/comments/default/8563371035988214880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7773456048418044527/3420759775962143468/comments/default/8563371035988214880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.harvesthymehomestead.com/2009/04/day-in-life-of-sick-hobby-farmer.html?showComment=1240749360000#c8563371035988214880' title=''/><author><name>Kara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02306393089259457114</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17880093883922135124'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.harvesthymehomestead.com/2009/04/day-in-life-of-sick-hobby-farmer.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773456048418044527.post-3420759775962143468' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7773456048418044527/posts/default/3420759775962143468' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-133179474'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773456048418044527.post-5617167763597290976</id><published>2009-04-26T07:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-26T07:52:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>TEA.
