After decades of using metal heat lamps during lambing season, this year one caught one of our stalls on fire. The fire was so hot it burned through wood boards and scarred the metal barn on the outside.
While we continue to use the same metal heat lamps that I have used since I was a kid in 4-H, we do triple-check them to make sure they are secured to the pen. We also use two wires as a precaution.
Sheep were inside the barn, but none were injured. In the slideshow you will find a true hero — the ewe who saved her twins.
