@SkylarkHolly That's good... I might try that as we have a couple of elderly retired ewes 👍

@5Lameness We've just created an infographic about lameness in UK sheep based on the #AnimalWelfareCommittee March 2011 report. Do you know if there is any update to where things stand now?

Lameness in sheep is a painful condition. Good husbandry can reduce rates in a flock to just 2%.
Take a look at our infographic about lameness in sheep (using research by the #AnimalWelfareCommittee #DEFRA): https://t.co/GVKbVpNrsX

@UK_PetDogPop I'm taking existing animal welfare research and trying to turn it into infographics etc to spread the word. Is there any research or stats you think I should be focusing on next?

@Daxsiie @foarctwales @marcthevet @CARIADCAMPAIGN @FOSTERFIRST1 Did the rescue you adopted them from give any advice? Most rescues will have volunteers who can give you bespoke support, or at least recommend a good behaviourist to help. I'd recommend reaching out to them first (or ask your vet for a good behaviourist).
