HI , More sad news . another lamb last night . Fox for sure. The head and
tail were eaten . It was a few days old . Mum had twins and could not
protect both lambs.
yours Peggy

Why do you not bring your lambing ewes either into barns or closer to the
house within fencing?
I'm still not convinced it is a fox, but if I was a sheep farmer (bred
goats) I would not allow my ewes to lamb unattended out in the open. That
orders on neglect in my book.
How the hell is she to manage if she has problems lmabing or do you simply
cross your fingers, and dispose of the carcasses when you find them, shrug,
and put it down to bad luck?
