Hi
I have recently bought 3 grey faced dartmoor ewes who are due to lamb anytime. One of them has gone a bit bonkers, running around a lot and leaping. Is this a sign of something other than spring madness? She is eating and well in all other ways though a little breathless after her grand national running attempts
Should I be worried?
Thanks,
Alice

hope that's not the reason several of mine were hoppity skipping this evening and I've got goats kidding imminently.
Rather the hoggs waited a week of two thank you. :)

Think it's just the time of year. In my experience, sheep have no respect for their condition when they're pregnant ;D

Thanks everyone for the reassurance. I had initially thought it was spring madness but didn't want to find out the hard way that it was a sign of some rare sheep disease!
