How’s Ma?

How’s Ma?

I see there is come concern about Ma, our ewe chewed up a bit in a confrontation with Red. She was freshly shorn, tried to run off and then challenged him and he grabbed for wool which was not there and got some of Ma – three bites on the skin, not in the flesh. At least two got infected, we cleaned her up and are giving her penicillin and pain-killers. She seems fine, eating well, moving around, minding Red pretty well. This kind of wound takes a long time to heal, and it won’t be completely clear that she is well for a week or two, but so far, so good.  I think she’ll be fine.
