A fatal bacterial disease of sheep, especially lambs, marked by inflammation of the stomach and common in upland areas during winter.
Braxy is caused by bacteria that multiply rapidly in the stomach lining, most often striking young sheep grazing on frosted or frozen pasture in hill country. Shepherds once used the word both for the illness itself and, in some districts, for the meat of an animal that had died of it, though outbreaks are now controlled by vaccination.
