Farmer fashions coat out of old fleece jacket
A farmer in Wiltshire has come up with a novel way to keep a lamb warm that was born without any wool.
Sally-Ann Fisher from Chilton Foliat fashioned a fleece jacket out of an old jumper to keep the lamb warm at night.
Eleven-day-old Skippy, so called because he resembles a kangaroo, was abandoned by his mother.
Ms Fisher and her partner are now hand-rearing the lamb at their farm near Ramsbury.
Ms Fisher told the BBC that they were not aware that Skippy’s lack of wool was a condition or health problem.
“He’s just unlucky, but he’s doing great,” she said.
But Hannah Park from the National Sheep Association said that the condition was not common.
“Some breeds with less wool might be susceptible but it is extremely unusual and not something we would see,” she said.
