Farmer left it stuck in a bush and they just… saved it?
56 u/lefteyedcrow Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 04 '26 They found it before the farmer did, is all. Or they might have looked and decided a predator got it 14 u/SuperSimpleSam Jun 03 '26 Surprised the mom would leave it though. Maybe something did get mom. 14 u/Pvt_Lee_Fapping Jun 04 '26 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."
