It appeared that the sheep would all bed down in the barn and one of the 
little ones 3 to 4 weeks old, would get rolled on or its nose would get 
pushed into the dirt.  I thought it was a ram problem and I separated 
the ram.  I thought it might be a lesbian ewe I had and I got rid of 
her.  It was the worst last year.  I lost 8 in 2 days.  I just decided 
to quit raising them in cold weather.  They have good shelter and the 
when they are in either one of the 2 barns, you can stay warm without a 
coat...  It is really hard on me to have to bury them after nursing them 
from birth...

Do your sheep crowd together to stay warm and do themselves in?  I  
know chickens and chinchillas will do that, in frightened states.

We had about 8 or 9 ewes that had lambs.  The dogs are responsible for  
the losses we've had.

GOOD fences are planned for the NY place.
