No lambs yet but found ewe on her back this afternoon. Bad discharge from the vulva and further investigation revealed a late aborted/dead lamb. No idea what happened as I've had this lady a few years now and she's was always easily lambed. She's ok now but may end up sending for a spin to the factory with a couple of other cull ewes later in the year.
