Neighbours who run holiday lets have a couple of this now rare breed.
They are new to sheep & the first lambed today. Got a phonecall at lunchtime saying ewe wasn't letting the lamb feed.
New mother, new shepherds, not sure who was the most nervous.
Anyway a little gentle persuasion & all's well.

Lovely animals - glad to hear that all is well. Will they be naming the lamb Charlotte?

Are you thinking wool or do I need to phone the police!!?
They have huge heavy fleeces but the quality is poor.
