The Grapevine Magazine came to Mountain View Sanctuary to do an interview for their feature piece on MVS for the upcoming May 2019 issue.

“Vinnie
“Vinnie”Vinnie was born as a surprise on April 9th 2019.

We were set to meet the staff of The Grapevine Magazine of Pueblo, CO for an onsite interview. I went to meet the staff and have them follow me back to MVS. I started down the driveway and saw Moshe lay down. It felt odd, so I parked and got out to check on her. She had began giving birth.

Over 20 mins later I called the veterinarian and told him how there had been no progression and I asked if I should pull and assist.

The vet stated that it sounded like the lamb was stuck at the shoulders and that I should begin pulling and assist with the delivery.

After I was able to get a good enough grip, his shoulder adjusted and he was born 🙂

We decided to name him “Vinnie” in honor of the magazine visit, as they arrived only minutes after Vinnie was born.
