World’s oldest sheep dies at 23

The oldest sheep in the world has died peacefully on its farm at Lake Bolac, Australia.

The ewe, named Lucky, endured a short illness after suffering in the country’s recent heatwaves, The Daily Telegraph reports.

At 23 years old, Lucky was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s oldest sheep.

Owner Delrae Westgarth said: “It’s a relief. She was good up to that first lot of heatwaves we had. But she went downhill a bit from then.

“We brought her into the shed where she was reared and put air conditioners on her. That kept her going a bit longer.”

She added: “When she got too old we brought her into a paddock on her own so she could eat by herself, (and) so the other sheep wouldn’t pinch all the tucker.”

Earlier this month, a British pensioner’s pet sheep, also named Lucky, was killed by a stray golf ball from a nearby course.
