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
