Pregnant ewes loosing wool

[BrownSheep]

Some of my heavier girls are loosing the wool on their bellies. It's happened in the past so I am not concerned.

Any guesses?

My guess is just the extra stretching to their bellies is causing some wool loss. Much how it does with the areas surrounding their bags.

I've never had this yet, but I'm glad I learn stuff on this forum.
