Spring has arrived at BYU-Idaho, and along with it, baby lambs. For the past four years, Aaron Stalker, a BYU-Idaho faculty member in the Department of Agriculture and Food Science, has partnered with a local ranch, Siddoway Sheep Company, to give students hands-on experience caring for these animals. The lambs that end up at the BYU-Idaho Agriculture Science Center are commonly referred to as “bum lambs.” When a ewe has too many babies, or when the lambs are not healthy, they require around-the-clock, labor-intensive care. That is where BYU-Idaho students step in to help.
