poddy

[…] the second cutting each season was allowed to become poddy, i.e., to set seed pods.

One of my half-starved poddy calves was very ill, and I went out to doctor it previous to bathing and tidying myself for my finishing household duties.

Constant handling will cause mis-mothering, leading to deaths and a number of poddy lambs. Poddy lambs are slow to grow and often fail to reach marketable weight under eight months of age.

The first really positive change came about when Mum arrived home with a poddy lamb.
