She said she'd love to do a scan but commerically she didn't think it worth it

What about in the interests of science or professional development? She could have done it for nothing for either of these reasons.

I am glad someone else has a square ewe!  I have a Wiltshire cross Southdown and she is HUGE.  Not surprisingly she seems to be struggling to walk. I just hope she is the one of two left to lamb in next day or so as other one has a week to go and god knows what she would be like.  Problem with these is they all look the same except one slightly smaller than other.

We've also just got two to go.  We sent them away to be tupped and the first one of the two, according to the farm we sent them to, is a week overdue.  The other's first due date is tomorrow.  I just wish they'd got on with it! 

No joy with the elusive testicle I'm afraid.  Have decided to turn them out and get our friendly vet to have a look later in the week.  I've got until Saturday.

Friendly vet managed to locate the elusive testicle but said it was the most difficult one she's ever had to do, so as am amateur I do feel vindicated!
