Texel problem

[copse]

Have only about 100 texel x mule ewes and about 1000 mules. Every year about three weeks after the tex ewes lamb I get some that go lame on both front legs and go about like a kangaroo. Mules never have the problem always the tex ewes. Any one had similar or know what is causing it? Thanks

As above, stops when weaned, no one seems to really know why, had 1 bought in ewe that did it 2 yrs running, must be something to do with energy reserve and milking, out of interest are the ones that do it related?
