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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
