One of the ewes came up and noticed she had broken off her horn.
Can you see the tip, still traces of blood on the tip of the bone.
Unlike antlers, horns do not grow back so I'm hoping she can still defend herself with only one horn. It looks as though with the tuffs of hair that were hanging off her that she was in quite a fight.
She seems to be taking it in stride, lol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful close ups.

Hi Nancy, ohh..wonder what happened to her, poor girl, I agree, hope she can defend herself if need be, Francine.
ReplyDeleteThat must of been one tough fight to break off her horn, wonder what the other guy (girl) looks like. Great shots you got of her.
ReplyDeletePoor ewe!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Nancy, she seems unconcerned and is happily munching. Hope she does well.

Interesting and fascinating. I didn't know that about these sheep and I didn't know that females fight. I knew males did...... but not females!
