- Young lambs are often attacked and killed by weasels. People tie a piece of red rag around the neck of the lambs as this will frighten off the weasel and prevent him killing the lamb. Other people claim that the fox is frightened off by the red cloth on the neck and that the weasel will not attack a lamb until it is asleep when it will steal on him and suck its blood.
