Barbra The Sheep Has To Wear DD Bra To Support Her Udders

Those of us with bigger busts will know only too well how important a bra with good support is. However, we didn't know that this support wasn't just important for humans, but for sheep, too.

This ewe, aptly named Barbra, and nicknamed Bra Bra Black Sheep, has to wear a DD-cup bra to help support her droopy udders.

The busty Beulah was struggling to feed her lambs Buddy and Blossom when creative shepherd David Cross, 50, and his wife Kathryn, 48, came up with the solution.

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.

"A droopy undercarriage is one of those things that happens when you get on in years. When she had her twin lambs they couldn't get to the teats. David was joking that she needed a bra for support.

"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."

Enterprising David cut two holes for the teats to poke through, the straps went round the legs and it fastened up on Barbra's 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," added Kathryn.

"The ewe was totally unfazed by the whole experience. David has been shepherding for many years and puts his heart and soul into ensuring his small flock is happy, healthy and well looked after, but this is the first time he's put a sheep in a bra. He's just really happy that it had the best outcome for mum and babies. Just shows how you have to be a bit creative and resourceful in farming."
