So, we've got another little pet lamb to keep Monkey company.
I called her Pikachu because she has little black tips to her ears and looks very cute. Funny story surrounding her "becoming a pet lamb"
Her mother is a shearling (That is a sheep that's over 1 years, younger than 2). The shearlings on Botton Farm are still about to fatten up and eventually go for meat. However one of the tups seems to have not been castrated properly and served a ewe shearling... The result was Pikachu walking around in with the 'lambs.' The shearlings are not really old enough to have lambs of their own, so Pikachu became a pet lamb as well. She's just with us for a little while to make sure she survives, then she'll got to another house probably. Till then she can share Monkey's box.
