Yes, it seems like it's really hard to tell when the advice is sensible and when it's tending towards being OTT just to cover themselves - sounds like the same with all pregnancy topics, not just shee ... |

Thanks for the replies. As they aren't lambing this year now, sounds like she should be ok.

They took lamb to vet last night in the end, and it has fly strike but think they caught it in time. |

I am not sure on the nomenclature of the colours - I haven't even got fully to grips with Shetland colours/markings and I have had them 8 years! - but a dark brown, a fawny colour and a sort of chocol ... |
