RedLegs was part of a quad of lambs born to one of our ewes. She had been so tightly packed inside with her siblings her tendons & muscles hadn’t developed the correct tensions for her to walk properly. She knuckled over on her pasterns so couldn’t walk at all. So I made small braces out of the cardboard roll from kitchen roll. To keep them on her legs I used vet wrap which was red. Now you wouldn’t know she ever had a problem.
