One Man Banned Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Oh no! I hope that when she's tested it's nothing too serious and won't affect the others. I didn't know about a sheep's ambition, I'd never heard of that! A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJo Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sorry to read the news - Really hard to balance the whys and wherefors when it comes to livestock. As was said before, hope it is something to do with that ewe, and nothing within the flock. Take care, and best wishes as always to you and Carl.

Lesley Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 We're still waiting to have her collected. There is nothing apparent that we can see. We put her in the stock trailer overnight - we coudn't bear the thought of leaving her with her lamb (full grown now) who was pawing at her and bleating also.... the fox would have been around overnight...... We keep questioning ourselves...... did we overfeed?.... not feed enough?.....is the grass good enough?.........could we have saved her?

bronze Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Stop worrying yourselves. For all you know it could have been one of those things... a hole in the heart or a dodgy valve etc. You know there hundreds of those thing that just happen and its noones fault.

Lesley Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 The others all seem OK this morning. We wouldn't feel so bad if it were one of the older ones - she's only a couple of years old and was the friendliest - always came to have her head scratched.
