Lame sheep?

[cgjsmith]

So my very old Ewe all the sudden started favoring her front hoof. When we looked at it we didn't see anything wrong with the hoof (needs a little trimming) didn't feel any of the bones broken, she puts some weight on it but not much. I didnt feel any heat in her leg. Any ideas thanks Crystal Smith

I would bring her to the vet.

I've noticed in older sheep that thy start to limp. I couldn't tell you why though. The oldest sheep I have is three so I'm a ways off yet.

I have noticed the same thing in my older sheep as well! They seem to limp on one of their legs/feet, and there is nothing I can find wrong. I usually leave mine be and the limp seems to go away on its own in 3 days to a week. I figure maybe they had a small sprain or pulled something cause I have no clue as to what it would be!
