I hope we have a few weeks of moderate weather, until these sheep can get a little fuzz back on them. It won't take long, they will grow almost an inch of wool a month. Kept two old but very thin Cotswold ewes up at the old lambing barn, just in case it turns off cold, and so they can get extra feed. It probably won't do any good to feed them extra, as old sheep are like old people, if they are lucky enough to make it to that age, they just waste away. Cotswolds are not a long lived sheep, anywhere between 10-14 years, compared to a Corriedale that can live into their late teens. |
