New picture of milk bag/udders on wool sheep. I really do not think it will be much longer. Its pink and warm to the touch. I think she is getting tired of me looking and feeling her.

Can't see her teats in this photo...is that because they are sticking out at right angles???? She could be very close if that is the case. At least you don't have to lift her tail as I do with hair sheep and no docked tails...they get used to the tail lifting and udder check if you give them a nice hip massage after. Good luck!!!!

My wool ewe that had lambs a couple weeks ago now has hurt one of her back legs. She is spending most of her time in the shed with the smallest lamb. I am hoping she is continuing to nurse the lambs. Also my other wool ewe has milk coming in well but today she has a milky white discharge. Any ideas?

I had a ewe a couple days after lambing hurt her back leg. She would lay down most of the time but when the lambs were hungry she would get up as much as it hurt her. I'm sure your ewe is feeding her lambs.

Is the milky white discharge coming out of her teat?
