so sorry to hear about this rough couple of days. when i was reading your posts it reminded me of a sheep farm site i'd seen... wow... 3 years ago? but it said something that i've always remembered.

here is the site:
http://www.fishwhistle.com/

i think she has a great Q&A and "10 reasons"...and a cute story as well.

but what she underscores is that sheep can be hard to raise and as she said 'sheep were born to die' - so i hope you can take comfort that even 'experts' have these things happens.

dont blame yourself - at least they had a loving home at the end.

These were rescues who didn't have the proper care before they came to you, which can cause all kinds of problems...problems you can't fix once the damage is done. Be proud that you gave both girls all the love and care they could handle in their final months.
What she said!

Now simply concentrate on that new little granddaughter for a while! :)

Sorry bout your sheep, but congrats on your new grandaughter.

I have been told that sheep are born with the will to die.

Go get some sleep!

Wow, I am so sad to hear about the two sheep. (and the babes) :( I do agree with the others though, that at least you loved them for their last days.






And, congats on your new grand angel!! may she continue to grow and get strong, so that yu can hold her!!!

With bad, comes good.
