Lambs that aren't rams

Usage examples of ewes.

Garric approached with the last of the herd, a dozen ewes from Beilin.

The tail of it, where Garric gently chivied the complaining ewes, was still visible on the slope.

He and Leda had watched helplessly as their prized ewes went into convulsions and jerked themselves to death.

Leda put food and water samples and three sick ewes into his pickup and raced into town to the vet.

The young ewes were adults with offspring of their own, tottering beside their mothers on wobbly legs and butting for the udder.

It was spring, and the scent of grass and the sound of ewes lambing on the Welsh hillside carried through the open windows of her cottage.
