"(Western Ireland, veterinary medicine) A poor condition in sheep caused by mineral deficiency." (etymology 6). Not in the EDD or OED. — Sgconlaw (talk) 22:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Searching for "heft in sheep", sheep heft Ireland and similar all I can find is the "feel or weight" sense or the "accustomed to a pasture" sense. - -sche (discuss) 03:00, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

@-sche: yup, I did a similar Google search and did not find anything usable. — Sgconlaw (talk) 17:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm just noting it for the sake of "showing the negative", so to speak (showing that now two people have tried to find this and come up empty handed, as opposed to no-one having tried to find it). - -sche (discuss) 19:35, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
