Tiny 2.2kg Hattie was born a little premature to a first-time mum. Sometimes first-time mums don’t know what to do with their babies, as was the case with Hattie’s mum. Sadly, it is often a choice between removing the lamb from their mum or taking the chance that the mum may or may not realise what she needs to do to care for her baby. As the 2nd option is always a risk to the life of the lamb, it was decided by the farmer to surrender little Hattie into our care.
Hattie is very healthy and certainly knows how to have a chat to anyone whether they listen or not.
