[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 9266930, member: 83588"] When lambing outside, I'd sometimes just watch a ewe from a distance. There would be times when the first lamb would be born very active, and totter away from the ewe instead of turning towards her to find the udder. The ewe would follow her lamb ~ whilst in the process of having the second one, which either disadvantaged the second (literally dropped and left), or the first (left to wander whilst the second is tended). It wasn't common, but I wouldn't rule out lamb behaviour where it might look like mismothering, but that's only from observation of the type of sheep that were kept at the time. [/QUOTE]
