This little guy and his mom have been picked-up from the day drop and are headed to the lamb sheds in a horse-drawn cart. (The horse's name is Jenny). At the lamb shed mom and lamb will be watched closely to see what their overall health is, how they're bonding, how mom's milk is coming in, etc. If all is well they'll be branded with matching numbers (lanolin-based paint brands of various colors) and after a few days be put outside in larger pens with other ewes and lambs and watched for overall condition.
Not many ranchers continue using horses for lambing, but it's the best way to move through large numbers of sheep with the least amount of disturbance. This cart has wheels and sled runners for various weather conditions.
