The Anonymous Widower

Daddy Of Them All

A ram has made a name for himself by escaping and fathering 33 lambs in one 24 hour session.  It’s all here in the Daily Mail.

This reminds me of a conversation with a Research Vet at Liverpool University in the 1960s.

At the time, the M62 was being built, and the Ministry was worried that sheep would get on the motorway. The University had been asked to find a solution and found that moorland sheep could easily climb a chain-link fence several feet high. Judging by the lack of reports of sheep on the motorway these days, I’m sure that the research indicated a solution that worked well.
