[Jacob-list] outcast ewe

[Linda]

Has anyone ever had an ewe that many of the other sheep just don't like? 
Jacobs have pretty individual personalities and I have a number of ewes 
that just don't flock. I currently have a yearling ewe that was sold as 
a lamb and returned here this summer and was with the ewe lambs and 
another ewe until breeding season - no particular reason for that, just 
that I unloaded her here and didn't bother to move her to the ewe 
pasture. Everyone got along fine.  For breeding season, she is with 5 
other adult ewes. Three of the 5 ewes are really aggressive towards her 
- and one of them is her mother. I don't quite understand why the three 
ewes are so intolerant of her. She's a very timid ewe (around other 
sheep - friendly with people) and it might be that she just doesn't 
stand up for herself. Any suggestions?
