California is home to 2,500 sheep and lamb operations that include 650,000 animals, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's national statistics service. The state has the second-highest number of sheep and lambs in the country, behind Texas.
Madigan and the other veterinarians don't know how many -- if any -- of the remaining pregnant sheep will have successful births.
Wool from the older sheep normally brings in additional money, but much of the wool on the remaining animals is badly charred. Many sheep have patches of raw, exposed skin.Some relief has come from local government.
