Are Ewe My Maa-Maa?

The new lambs and kids will be arriving soon!  Of course, the ewes knew which little bundle of cuteness belongs to them, but do you?

As children, one of our favorite Dr. Seuss books was “Are You My Mother?”  A baby bird hatches while the mother bird is away from the nest and spends the rest of the book running around asking various animals, “are you my mother?”  Our Mom always used different voices for each of the characters, probably why we liked ths story so much!  Today I’m picturing a flock of lambs all baa-ing for their Mama! 

At Ketchum, we manufacture several  small metal ear tags that are perfect for little ears. The #314 Tambra https://www.ketchummfg.com/c32/c117/Tambra-Ear-Wing-Tags-Brass-Numbered-p437.html, is a small brass tag, measuring 3/4″ long by 3/16″ wide with a tamper proof locking button.
