Adoption of Tegan

Tegan, a blind lamb, was one of a group of sheep that were being grazed on land belonging to Lesley. The lamb was constantly being left behind when the sheep moved, bleating pitifully and Lesley wondered if it may also have a hearing loss.  The lambs were due to go to market at the end of June and Lesley could not bear to think of the fear, distress, and ultimate panic that this little lamb would face.

A recommendation on ‘Sheep as Pets’ led Lesley to Fleecehaven; we felt that it would be better for the lamb if it could also come with its mother and, if possible, a second lamb. Lesley managed to negotiate the release a random second lamb which remarkably turned out to be blind! That lamb ended up coming with its mum and this ewe had another lamb who we could not possibly leave behind to go to market, so our flock suddenly increased by 5!

Lesley named the ewes Mila and Molly and their blind lambs Tegan and Jodie respectively; the little sighted boy has subsequently been named Griff by one of our wonderful supporters, Sue.
