Usually the dam will chew it off, I wouldn't touch it - but spray with iodine (I use Bactakil). But then I am quite squeamish and won't touch stuff unless absolutely necessary... others may have a different take on it though.

One reason why we keep Shetland sheep is due to their complete ease at lambing time. Sorry to pinch the thread by the way.
