Feldar,
Very sorry to hear your news. We are just along the coast from you, in West Dorset, and lambing this week. Although we only have a very small flock of non-commercial ewes, I am expecting the worst. Our first lamb has an undershot jaw but otherwise seems ok. I hope it does not affect too many of your flock, good luck with the rest.
3 1/2 pages in the Sunday Telegraph today, I don't think sheep welfare has ever received so much publicity, and on Countryfile this evening as well.
