Ewe Down

Posted by Brien Sparling on March 28, 2015 at 1:12pm

Spring lambing is a time of joy and danger, and "Ewe Down" is a phrase that gets everyone in our family moving pretty fast. This case was 'Milk Fever' where a ewe is putting so much Calcium into making milk for her lamb, that her own nerves start to malfunction. For one five minute stretch we were all sure we had lost this mother, but happily prayer and a IV drip pulled her through. Big thanks to the great shepherd!!

It is indeed my family. I am not in this scene as I am moving other sheep, praying and staying out of the way of the vet in the foreground.

Funny how memory works, we enjoy the good times but we remember the tense ones.

And re-reading this, I just realized this was your family!

Brien, I really like the drama, tension and emotion in this! The worry and concern on the girl's face, and the care and determination on the men as they try to save the ewe. Well done, my friend! I consider this one of your best! :)
