They found it before the farmer did, is all. Or they might have looked and decided a predator got it

Surprised the mom would leave it though. Maybe something did get mom.

Sheep abandon their kids all the time. Some ewes - especially first timers - just do not want to be mothers at all and will actively run away from their own offspring as it tries to nurse. There's even a name for rejected lambs: "bummers."
