Sunday Brunch
Posted 5/11/2008 8:14pm by Eugene Wyatt.

When lambs wag their tails, or swirl them as they do here, it means they are getting milk from the ewe's udder. After these week-old lambs have emptied mama in about 10 seconds, she will take a step forward ending brunch for the lambs.
In two hours, when her udder is full of milk again, she will call out, "Maaa..." No matter where they are or what they are doing, the lambs will run through the flock like little halfbacks deftly cutting back and forth between other lambs and sheep to get to mama.
Even in the din of a hundred same-sounding voices, the lamb knows the call of its mother and she knows the voice of her lamb.
