Introducing the tiny Button who, on arrival, weighed a mere 873g! He is the smallest lamb by far to ever arrive into the care of LCA. At that tiny size, we actually did not have high hopes for his survival but this cute little Button is going from strength to strength. Photos: Kate Perkins

Jed and Cara were sadly rejected by their mum. These 2 little lambs are very quiet and like to keep to themselves. They spend all day together playing in the grass and then love to curl up together to sleep. We are glad that, after such a sad start to life, they have each other

Mr Magoo was born to a first time mum but did not have an easy birth. During the birth process he became stuck, preventing his mum from delivering him unaided. Luckily the farmer found Mr Magoo and his mum and assisted the birthing process to its completion. Sadly, possibly because of the stress the first

Lavender has been through a tough start to life. Suffering from Entropian in both eyes, she needed immediate vet care. Lavender’s eyes are now improving but currently she is unable to stand.

Despite this struggle so early in life, Sooty and Clarence are both happy and gentle little lambs

Sometimes miracles happen and Lolly’s story is one of just such a miracle. Late last week, a car was travelling behind a truck full of sheep on its way (we presume) to a slaughterhouse. Slowing to stop at the exit of the freeway, the people in the car saw a little white bundle appear through

Amelia arrived into care with severe damage to her left eye that we think was caused by a fox bite. Whisper had flystrike in one of her hooves. Whilst the farmer had cleaned the hoof and removed any maggots there was still something not quite right and she was unable to stand. Both girls have

Kevin had been through a very stressful and painful time before being surrendered to LCA. At some point in his brief 10 months of life, his leg had become bound in a piece of hay band. Hay band is very strong so the piece had cut off the circulation above the hoof and had cut

James is a very lucky lamb despite losing his mum on his first day of life. James’ mum sadly died during the birthing process leaving the newborn lamb alone in a world he certainly would not survive in on his own.  Newborn lambs cannot regulate their body temperature so succumb to hypothermia very quickly.
