Lonk story time sent in from B&E Thorpe - this Lonk Ewe was part of their 2024 show team as a Shearling, then got worried that tupping time. It had its chest and back end ripped open & nearly died. It took 6 months to heal, and this year has lambed this lovely Gimmer lamb - that’s Lonks for you, stubborn and hardy 💪
