Buttons joins the family

Yesterday we got a new addition to the family, much to Alice's excitement. 

Button's mum died while trying to have her sister/brother.  Luckily Buttons was clever enough to have a drink from mum and survive.  She is quite big for only a day old.  At the moment buttons is getting 75 mls of milk, 6 times a day.  We will gradually increase the amount for each feed as we decrease the number of feeds per day.  Button's mum was a Romney ewe and her dad a Suffolk ram.
Alice will start to spend lots of time with Buttons and they will become best of mates, with Buttons ready to go to playgroup Lamb Day on 24th September.
