To eifionrefail - This question was asked on Saturday night after too much beer but I am now concerned. Why can it be fatal for sheep if they lie in their backs?

A sheep trying to get to sleep:
1 human, 2 humans, 3 humans, 4 humans ..... zzzzz ..... oh bug**r I fell over must remember to lie down next time I want to go to sleep.

Lying down of course.They do sometimes have difficulty getting up if they have rolled onto their backs..and this could prove fatal.

They sleep in their little sheep beds in the barn, and use their teeth to pull the covers up over their shoulders.
They are required to make their beds each morning.

They lie down on their fronts, usually with their front legs tucked underneath.
