The claim matches a documented characterization in multiple sources: lambs born in winter are commonly described as being rejected or shunned in the context of the referenced sheep story, and livestock guidance also recognizes that ewes can reject lambs under certain conditions. The exact wording is broad and somewhat context-dependent, but the central assertion is supported by the supplied sources.

Some farming sources note that rejection is not inevitable and may be caused by management, weak lambs, illness, or disrupted bonding rather than winter birth itself; however, this is a nuance about causes, not a strong contradiction of the basic claim that winter lambs can be rejected.
