One year and over: Draft and cast ewes. 'Draft ewes' are 'breeding ewes removed from the flock. [The term is] associated with hill flocks where ewes are 'drafted' at 4-5 years old to lowland farms for further breeding, because they are considered too old for harsh mountain life' (Source: English Nature, The upland management handbook, 'Glossary' (2001). 'Cast ewes' are 'ewes at the end of their breeding life' (definition given in http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/minbycom/develop/ds9809.htm).
