I am so sorry this happened. I am happy you have a name to put to it now though.

Not everybody can be a shepherd. It takes those of us with strong yet tender hearts. That is because it is hard and trying, and sometimes despite everything you do you will lose one and the only thing to do is brush off the dirt and focus on saving and protect those that are left.

Uploading them is such a pain!

Unfortunately we had a loss today :( Snow's last remaining boy was trampled to death by the ewes
