Keeping livestock has a lot of steep learning curves, there's been lots of tears in our house over the past 2 years but equally the rewards really outweigh the losses. YOu've tried so hard and she had a good, albeit, short life where you kept her comfortable x

Made me laugh about lambs having ambition to either die or escape - true!

My brother-in-law has a saying, "If there's a gap that water can get through, then a pet lamb can get through it."

Not sure if they learn it from the collies - they seem to be able to pour themselves through impossibly narrow slits.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
