Woman saves three lambs meant for the ‘dinner table’ in heroic story

A British mom adopted three baby lambs that were at risk of dying due to a lack of food — meet the adorable animals and learn about the woman's big-hearted decision.

A woman rescued three lambs that were at risk of dying. 

Kay Dawson is a 59-year-old farm shop manager near Stratford-upon-Avon, England, who decided to adopt three lambs as pets of her own, as SWNS reported. 

The lambs, named River, Ruby and Frankie, are just four weeks old and today have a place to call home.

The pack of three came to Dawson from a local farmer who said the lambs' mother couldn’t feed them adequately, SWNS noted.

Dawson told SWNS that the local farmer was struggling to keep up with their food needs. 

"They needed bottle feeding and his daughter was struggling, so we took them on," she explained.

Dawson said that, although she does not rescue animals, they have also taken in two twin cows who were at risk of slaughtering. 

"We keep all of these animals, and children can come and see them," she said. 

"They are the shop’s pets."

Dawson said the three lambs, two with black fur and one with white, are fed powdered milk and warm water, as SWNS reported.

The farm shop manager said this gives them strength to build stronger bones, similar to humans. 

"It’s horrible to say, but they would’ve probably ended up on a plate," she said. 

Since taking the lambs in, Dawson said it’s been a very positive experience.
