(Trigger Warning: This post discusses mental health challenges and su***de.)

Let's Be Real and Raw Here ❤️

As a rescue, we hear about the daily struggles that go on behind the scenes.

While every rescue and charity is filled with love and hope, it also comes with immense challenges, from the toll on mental health to experiences of bullying.

From farm sanctuaries to kennels to wildlife shelters, dedicated workers pour their hearts into saving lives.

But with that commitment comes an emotional toll.

It’s a difficult truth that rescue workers are at high risk for burnout and emotional fatigue. Studies show that animal rescue workers experience high levels of compassion fatigue and face a higher risk of su***de than in many other fields due to emotional strain.

Let’s shine a light on the strength and compassion of all rescue workers and speak up, reach out, and stand by each other.

Today, we’re standing with all our fellow rescue heroes. Thank you for everything you do. 🙏

Dear community: your kindness—whether through encouraging words or simply offering a listening ear—brings comfort on the hardest days and reminds everyone in this field why they do this.

Together, we’re stronger. 💚

Yesterday was shearing day.

We are so lucky to have a great shearer and one who always makes sure our crew is done.

Everyone is in great condition which is great given the tough conditions we have been through with no grass and not the best hay around.

We have 3 8 year old girls who now have no teeth that are still doing well but need lots of extra attention.

Did you know? Sheep are deeply social animals who form strong bonds and friendships! 🐏💞

Just like us, they crave companionship and feel happiest when they’re part of a flock. This social connection plays a crucial role in their well-being and overall health. Here at Orphan Lamb Rescue Farm, we make sure each lamb finds their “forever flock” where they can thrive alongside friends.

Thank you for helping us provide a safe, social environment for our lambs! 🙏

Throwing it back to June 2020 with Ironman!

When tiny Ironman arrived, he was only 1.5kg, weak and unable to stand or drink on his own. A dedicated farmer had tried to help him but had little success.

Then Ironman came to us, and miraculously, he stood up and drank straight away!

Now, he’s grown into one of our most beloved rescue success stories, showing just how powerful a little love and care can be.

Thanks for being a part of stories like Ironman’s! Your support makes these beautiful transformations possible. 🙏

Our lambs need hay, and we need your help! 🌾

With the recent dry winter, hay supplies are in high demand and getting costly. Hay is essential for our growing flock’s health, especially as we head into warmer months. Every dollar donated goes directly towards keeping our lambs fed, safe, and healthy.

Can you help us reach our hay goal and keep our lambs nourished?

Help us stock up on hay! Any donation, big or small, makes a difference. 🙏

You can direct deposit or donate via PayPal (no PayPal account needed). See the link in the comments and our bio.

Normie’s transformation is nothing short of miraculous! 💚

When Normie arrived at only 3 weeks old, he was severely underweight and struggling with intense scouring. His mother had passed, and he survived by sneaking milk from other ewes, barely hanging on. We didn’t think he’d make it through the first night, but Normie proved to be a little fighter!

Now, he’s strong, healthy, and playful — living proof of the incredible resilience of these precious lambs.

Inspired by Normie’s journey? You can be part of more transformations by sharing our work.

Sweet little Matilda! 💞

A compassionate dairy worker found this little lamb all alone with no ewe in sight. With a huge heart, she took Matilda in, fed her, and reached out to us.

Thanks to the kindness of strangers, Matilda is now safe at Orphan Lamb Rescue Farm, where she’ll be loved and cared for.

She may have had a rough start, but her future looks bright with all the love and support she’s already receiving!

Want to make a difference? Every share helps spread the word about rescues like Matilda’s.

As most of you know, we recently had quite a storm, and I may have underestimated the task of cutting up the huge branch that fell! 🌿💪

But with determination—and a few breaks!—I got it done. There's still plenty of cleanup to go.

It's moments like these that remind us how resilient our farm and our flock are. Thanks to all who continue to support us through every storm, big or small.

Looking for a way to make a positive impact? Sharing our posts and spreading the word goes a long way! 🙏

This November, we’re kicking off our hay fundraiser to help us prepare for the dry season ahead. 🌾

The winter was particularly dry, and to ensure all our lambs have enough to eat through the coming months, we need to purchase hay early. This is where our community comes in — we can’t do this without you!

Every donation, every share, every bit of support counts. Together, we can make sure no lamb goes hungry. 💚

Cuddles and playtime are more than just adorable — they’re key to a lamb's happiness and social growth! 🌟

Whether it’s a little lamb hopping around or a gentle cuddle session, every moment helps them feel safe and loved.

For our older sheep, bonding looks like sharing treats and spending quality time together.

These simple moments of connection are what make our work here at Orphan Lamb Rescue Farm so special. It’s in these moments that lambs learn to trust and thrive. 🐑💕

Follow along to see more precious moments with our growing flock!

Remember our adorable twin girls, Evie and Dixie, who joined us not long ago?! 🐑✨

These two were just 5 days old when they came to us after losing their mum. A local farmer reached out, and we were more than happy to welcome these sweethearts into our flock.

Despite a tough start, Evie and Dixie are proving to be strong little fighters. They love snuggling together, and we can’t wait to see their personalities blossom in the coming weeks.

Thanks to your support, Evie and Dixie are getting all the care and love they need to grow up healthy and happy.

💚 Want to be a part of their journey? Follow along with us as these little ones find their way to a bright future.
