My sow had her litter of piglets 3-4 days ago and of course, she waited until 1am during a bad storm to start popping out piglets. Well at about 2am I go check on her and I see a piglet walking about 30 yards(25 or so meters) away from the pen in the rain as it somehow got out . The piglet was cold and shivering, but it turns out he was a strong little fella . After warming him up and putting him back with mom he's been doing great . I really hope you get the same outcome with this lamb and it comes out of this healthy.
Another sheep farmer I watch from England takes her cold babies and puts them in one of those super long vet gloves (for horse and cow rectal exams) then she submerges them in warm water (not hot) they stay dry and seem to warm up fairly quick. Good luck, hope lamb makes it!
That's what Sandi Brock from Canada does too. After the bath she then puts them in a bin with a heating pad and blankets and continues taking their temp til it gets to 37 Celsius and then feeds them a bottle.
@@nelsblair2667well Google told me grown Sheep go between 38-39°C and Googling "Lamb Body temperature" gave me Cooking recipes on how hot I have to heat up Lamb meat...
We used to take our cold lambs and just shove them into our work coats with us. My dad gave CPR to a Finn preemie one day, brought him back to life, and then handed him off to me. "This one's yours now." Mom fully rejected him, so my little Lambert followed me around the farm all day every day for the next six months ❤❤ Miss that little guy
I watched another sheep channel where they put the cold lamb in a plastic sleeve (so it wouldnt get wet) in a bucket of warm water and then after put it in the heating pad blanket and it worked so well!
I was thinking this as well. Though, the heating pouch does the same, without risk of lamb getting wet. Which can bring temp back down. The only thing is to make sure you get a good heating pouch that doesn't take forever to heat up. We have goats, but still had a few incidents with preemies and sick newborns, and the first heating pouch we bought took forever to heat up, and we ended up going with the "water sack". Which was a plastic tote filled with warm water, and kids in thin trash bags.(Gosh that sounds weird and wrong to say.lol) We just called it the water sack.lol anyway, we were given a different heating pouch from a neighbor who had sheep. It works so good, and heats up fast. It's definitely less of a hassle trying to keep the baby dry when taking out of water to get a temp multiple times.
On the operation I grew up on we shear the ewes right before lambing so that mom feels the weather and is more likely to shelter and bed down when and where the lambs should be sheltered and bedded down. Didn't get to see mom well enough to get a good guess on how fresh her cut was... but if this was a freshish drop, then that might not have helped much. We usually walk the pens regular(depends on the weather) and bring ours in to the barn. We also lamb in Feb and March in Colorado........
The best way of warming a chilled goat kid that ive found is to use warm water, in a sink, tub or otherwise. Within a few minutes, they are warmed well. Not always practical, but it is effective.
If it's an option, maybe see if the goat kids can fit into one of those very long disposable gloves for cow rectal exams. It keeps the actual baby dry but gives the quick heating of the warm water. I know some sheep farmers do that, idk if goat kids fit as well though. It'd be worth a try, especially if they are the smaller ones.
@@h.s.6269 thats really great advice, thanks for the tip. They are usualy slimy and muddy, and we use towels to wipe them down anyway, so getting them wet hasnt been a problem. I suppose if you wanted to get them back on mom, you would want them smelling normal, not washed, and i always worry about the water getting infection into their navels.
You dont want to apply the water directly as it could cause infection or wash off important smells. Also core body temp can drop again if wet for a period of time after the bath (wet-damp hair for example). Its best to submerge them dry if possible. If not blankets with heating pads, hot water bottles or hot rice sockbags are a good alternative to actually getting them wet.
@@loribernardisunwell9663 if i have a kid this far gone, its unlikely it will get put back on mom. Often they are soaked through, not with amniotic fluid, and after toweling, they go in a hot box to finish drying and get a sub-c shot of warm glucose, a tube, and some warm fluid. They will get a preventative, 3 day run of pen-g as follow up, but infection a week later isnt as much of a concern when they are on deaths doorstep hypothermic. Ive done this a few dozen times over the years, and cant say ive had an infection i could link to submerging them. All that said, i agree that putting them in something to keep them dry is a great idea, but i wouldnt waste time looking for something instead of getting the animal warmed asap.
I love your content. I grew up on a dairy farm and your demeanor is so much like my Gramp’s. Pragmatic, practical, but kind and gentle. It’s a lovely dichotomy.❤
"we're going to last f***in" took me out 😂 and just calling the baby "lamb" the whole time just made my laugh harder, even though it's completely right lol. Hope the little one is ok and doesn't grow up to join a sheep gang or at least says "hey I know her, she good peeps. Don't string her up but the wool"
While I'm very concerned about the lamb, can we go back to the part where your dog's name is TYPO?! That is an excellent name. I may have to steal it. I'll get a matching pair. Typo & Stet. Great content, new sub.
I'm guessing when she said, "that's not right, we are cold" she meant that the thermometer must be reading incorrectly because she can tell that the lamb is cold but the thermometer is telling her that's it's not
Lot of thermometer doesn’t work well. I had one once at home. Between forehead and ear ear was 3.5 Celsius difference. One was 34.9, and the other 38.4. how?
You're supposed to put them in a vat of warm water after sticking him into a large plastic bag to bring his temperature up. Electric things don't always work fast enough
I hadn't heard of sorters disease, probably because it's almost unheard-of in Australia. I looked it up and there's only been 3 cases in humans since 2001.

I love your content. I grew up on a dairy farm and your demeanor is so much like my Gramp’s. Pragmatic, practical, but kind and gentle. It’s a lovely dichotomy.❤
As a person who has worked pigs I’ve done this way to many times. It’s sad but it’s a part of having a farm.
You learned a lot from Sandi, Tara!
Hope your lamb was able to warm up and eat.
Apparently the lamb passed away.
I really love the instant emergency action that Tara jumped into. Not all farmers would care that much about a single lamb.
I disagree every farmer I have known cares about each animal. That lamb also represents money to the farmer.
I disagree, many farmers care very much for their animals and even if it's simple as a meat chicken, seeing it die in a painful way is upsetting.

42.9 C is 107°. Normal temp for lambs is 102°. However, I'm not the expert. Am I missing something?
I'm guessing when she said, "that's not right, we are cold" she meant that the thermometer must be reading incorrectly because she can tell that the lamb is cold but the thermometer is telling her that's it's not
"one"?!? 😂😂 Oh gosh, I really hope those numbers came up for lamby in the wool. He's got a good chance with you on his side and fighting for him. 🤞🏼
What is the warming pocket you used?
Makes sense to hear them as well as you can. Hope the lamb makes it
Premees are so hard. The crash is just heartbreaking. Always happens when you think theyre good 😢
Lot of thermometer doesn’t work well. I had one once at home. Between forehead and ear ear was 3.5 Celsius difference. One was 34.9, and the other 38.4. how?
The most acurate is rectal thermometer.

You're supposed to put them in a vat of warm water after sticking him into a large plastic bag to bring his temperature up. Electric things don't always work fast enough
That is a cheaper and more portable method than the warming oven of an Aga... Or the fan heater and box for that matter.
Sounds like the chicken run character
43 degrees? Thats not cold, its damn near frozen. I think humans go into Hypothermic shock below 94. Poor little guys a lambsicle.
You are amazing
42 is a fever, isn't it??
Fahrenheit
114 F in case u wondering
Yeah. I was wondering the same thing. 39-40 °C is normal temperature. That lamb is cooked if that is a correct temp.
This is why it’s recommended not to use barbed wire for sheep
42C?!?!....That is hot....what temp are they supposed to be?
Tiny baby 😢
Little dude)
So with that many animals how do you keep track of which mom goes to which lamb?
I can't believe that lamb didn't fuss about having that thermometer ln it's mouth.
Because it was rectal.
Really you don't say lol
Did The Lamb make it? 😢
42.9 is cold for sheeps?
God Bless You all 🙏✝️😊

How often do they not make it? You sound like you're used to them not making it😢
