Lots of Rain, the Dam, and a New Lamb

While I was driving home from Melbourne on Sunday afternoon Sherrie gave birth to a ewe lamb.  It was raining at the time, and there has been a lot more since, and more is forecast for the next 5 days!!  Eddy wanted to call the lamb Sunday Roast if it was a ram, but as she's not, we've called her Sunday Rose.  She has had a rough start and yesterday managed to get herself on the other side of the fence from her mother.  She also has been scouring, not a good look for a day old.  Yesterday afternoon I brought them into the shearing shed, gave her antibiotics and some glucose and electrolyte water to see if I could help her improve.  Yesterday evening she was looking very poorly, but this morning she is looking much better :)  With a river running through her paddock I think I'll be keeping her and her mother indoors for a while.

The creek broke its banks yesterday afternoon, but during the evening subsided.  More rain over night and its back up again this morning.

 I can see some fence repairs will be necessary.

The dam is as full as it can get - YAYYYY

The llamas and alpacas have crossed the 'new creek' to come in for breakfast this morning.
