They don’t all survive

Little Miss Pretty was really too old to lamb. 12 years old and toothless we had tried to keep our ram, Tufty, away from her and all the old ewes. He broke through a fence in his desire to get to the old girls.

I just went out to feed concentrates to the sheep and found Little Miss with her very large, stillborn lamb. I am leaving her to lick the lamb clean and grieve as she comes to terms with her loss.
