Thank-you for all the replies - much appreciated.

I've been to ask a farmer what to do about the sheep, and she has advised me to go round to the farm the sheep is from and ask the farmer to come round.

I will go round tomorrow.

Hopefully the sheep will be taken and given the proper care she needs.

Thanks

Sorry, I had misunderstood, I didn't realise you knew where it had come from, hope that goes well and and you get it all sorted.

Lots of good advice here. Many sheepkeepers do start "by accident" and go on to really enjoy it since it can be a truly fascinating and rewarding But I recommend you keep your feet on the ground and do not carried away by your heart with this poorly animal. Be realistic about what can be achieved.
The start- up costs ( including the cost of another two sheep and getting this one healthy again ) can be huge - and it's not a cheap hobby even if  everything goes well. To do it properly will also take up your time. What will happen when you go on holiday for example?
I'm sorry to sound so negative when you are just trying to do your best, but keeping even just a few sheep is a big commitment with more to it than perhaps meets the eye.
Since you have taken the trouble to contact AS I am sure you will do the right thing. Good luck with whatever you decide.
