I wish they could talk
« on: July 26, 2013, 12:35:02 pm »
Yesterday one of my ewes was looking off colour. She was sitting on her own with her head down and didn't show any interest when I took food over for the lambs......... panic, panic, could it be fly strike?
Got OH to help me and we took a good look over her, including between her toes as I read that someone had fly strike there, we couldn't find anything.
This morning she is as right as rain, trying to pinch the lambs food, eating the grass with the mums (she isn't a mum herself) and generally just being a sheep.
Perhaps she was just being unsociable yesterday.
Life is like a bowl of cherries, mostly yummy but some dodgy bits

She sounds like she was just feeling hot and grumpy  :thumbsup: Probably just as well they can't talk! There's some saying isn't there, to do with the fact that we love dogs as much as we do, because they don't talk  :D
