I have a ewe that dropped a lamb yesterday,

She does not want to nurse.

After taking a good look she appears to have mastitis in one teet; therefore is very tender.

The lamb is still alive and we do not want to bottle feed it.

Things don't look good.

I may have a neighbor who's grand kids may want to bottle feed the lamb, which they have done before.

These are "hair" sheep and are very good eating.

The question is: Can we eat the ewe that has mastitis?

This is a serious question and will not like wise ass comments.

Thank you
