What is a lambing gown?

A lambing gown is a specialized garment worn by farmers and livestock handlers during the lambing process, which is when ewes give birth to lambs. The gown is typically made of durable, easily washable fabric and features long sleeves and a front opening for convenience. It helps protect the wearer from dirt, moisture, and bodily fluids while providing a hygienic environment for assisting with the birth and care of newborn lambs. Additionally, it often has pockets for carrying tools or supplies needed during lambing.
