Oooops I did it again

Just to demonstrate the excellent self harming capacity possessed by sheep who have any number of innate behaviours designed to prematurely shuffle off their mortal coils we have a master class from Roxy.

Her grip on life has been tenuous, nearly killing herself giving birth to twins in 2007, rolling upside down 2008, nearly becoming pie filling 2009, more near death in lamb birth 2009, upside down again 2010, so here in March 2011 she combines several techniques, favouring the roll upside down maneuver while wedging yourself in the barns emergency exit just out of sight of any biped helpers.

Some 12 hours later she was discovered (thanks to a fox, another tale, wait for it) on the point of explosion, her guts had filled with gas, she was minutes from critical mass. Given a helping hand she farted her appreciation, burped a thank you and sloped off to plot more suicide attempts.
