Dorper Sheep | Farm animal Sketch
Another graphite sketch, this is Lucky Baa, our first Dorper lamb. Baa was also the first ‘pet’ lamb that we have had to bring inside and bottle feed for the first few days as the poor little tyke broke his right front leg. Apparently its not uncommon for the mother to step on the lamb and break its leg, which is what we suspect happened with Baa. We made up an assortment of leg splints from carpet and pvc piping cut in half and wrapped the leg with vet wrap and kept changing the splint as he grew. Having a splinted leg certainly dosn’t stop him from doing anything the other lambs are doing!
