Meet ‘Bra Bra Black Sheep’

– a sheep that wears a DD-cup bra to help give her extra support.

Barbara the sheep has a very droopy udder and struggles to feed her twin lambs, so her shepherd, David Cross, 50, and his wife Kathryn, 48, at Barnards Farm in Wymondham, Norwich, came up with a solution from their neighbour’s underwear drawer. Kathryn, who also manages Centre Paws Norfolk, said: ‘The ewe is an older girl, perfectly fit and healthy but when her udder bagged up with milk it was nearly dragging on the ground.‘When she had her twin lambs they couldn’t get to the teats.‘Our neighbour happened to be round at the time and said she was just throwing out an old one if he wanted it – it was a 44DD and was actually a perfect fit.

She added: ‘David cut two well-positioned holes for the teats to poke through, the straps went round the legs and it fastened up on her back. ‘The lambs were a bit unsure to start with but with a bit of guidance they soon got the hang of it and are now thriving.Kathryn says this is the first time David has ever had to put a bra onto a sheep – but ‘it worked so well it might come in handy again another day.’
