Yes it often happens after something as stressful as losing her lambs. Not much you can do, she could lose it all over the next few weeks, but it will grow back.  At least she wont need shearing this year!

Probably stress  ... but worth checking for lice

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.
