In addition, flock owners should dispose of aborted foetuses, still born lambs and afterbirths quickly and safely. |
Sheep are in these fields and, unfortunately, last week one aborted with the loss of two lambs. |
The flock consisted of 20 rams, 44 ewes, and 43 lambs, of which 21 were female and the remaining were castrated males. |
The lambs in the paddock are constantly bleating at the moment, mainly for food but also for attention as we humans are their mums. |
According to the fur industry this foetal karakul lamb fur is from lambs that are prematurely born. |
The home market is expected to absorb around 25 per cent of the total expected output of four million lambs this year. |
