Orphan Lamb Wanted

Marie from Waikanae

Our recently acquired ewe Tilly gave birth to twins on Sunday night. Unfortunately neither of them have survived. It was very early for us to be lambing and it was also a very cold night. A first for me. Never lost a lamb before. However, Tilly now has an enlarged udder which I am sure is not comfortable for her. I am looking for an orphan lamb or even one of twins who is not doing so well that we could put to her. I still have Tink, the wee girl who perished, and often if you rub the wool of the lost lamb on the orphan, the mother will accept it and allow it to suckle. Can collect the lamb if there is one out there somewhere.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
