We found Gertie lying in the barn this morning. She was over 12 years old and had given birth to several lambs during her time at The Gables. The last time the vets were here they looked in her mouth and saw that she was toothless. That’s what happens with old sheep (us too!). She had a good life here with lots of grass, hay, concentrates and cuddles. She had a painless death on a bed of straw. She will be collected by the knackers today. Farewell old girl.
