Tup revisiting ewe
« on: January 08, 2018, 10:32:20 am »
We put our tup in on the 5th November. He did what he needed to do within the first few days, then this weekend he has revisited one of the ewes. Why would this happen? If she had missed, one would assume that he would have revisited her earlier. If she has aborted, would there not be some 'evidence' of this at 9 weeks pregnant?

I'd of thought any aborted foetus would be so small it'd be carried off by birds or foxes pretty easily. I wouldn't expect much mess either. They can absorb sometimes too.

I had a ewe last year return after 7 weeks no sign of abortion probably just reabsorbed internally, she still ended up empty so was culled.
