Cold Affect« Lamb« In cold weather new-born lambs need a lot of attention. If they are chilled, wrapping them in hot flannel cloths is a good way to warm them up. Or they may be put in water as hot as the hand can bear, held there for a few minutes, and then dried and wrapped in cloths or a sheep skin for a few hours.
