    ruptured prepubic tendon in sheep

    I have a ewe due early January. She has looked pretty much the same recently, big belly on both sides. Just recently her stomach has completely changed. One side looks like is not pregnant at all, and the opposite side is huge and very low hanging. She struggles to get around, walking is hard...

    The thing is, he is not ramming it, just pushes on it. and drags his sides across it . He knows the weak points and try to push the corners apart :idunno

    I haven't been on here in a while. I have been so busy with my school and the kids school I dont have time for much else. I figured i would add an update.

    I wanted him for a show ram, and most of them are very tall. I'll keep him till next summer to see how he grows. I'm trying to add in more height and this guy is not fitting the bill right now lol

    I'm trying to hold out hope that this guy will get taller. His sister is long,tall and lean. He , though built nice in my personal opinion he is short :lol: fingers crossed for a growth spurt. He makes me think of an english bull dog, very wide and short 😂 His sister... They are both out of the...

    We finally got some rain last night, boy do we need it. I cannot believe how dry it is here. I dont think we have had to mow the lawn in over a month. The pasture is not handling it well, we have made sure to keep rotating so that some of the grass gets a chance to grow. Its so dry the grass...

    Fencing ideas for sheep?

    I dont have a fence stretcher, is the field fence still something I can do without one? Can I attach it to the T posts that are already there? Right now I have 5 lines of poly wire that we are really starting to not like.

    Fencing ideas for sheep?

    Has anyone fenced their whole pasture with cattle panels? If yes did you like it? if no, why not? Rolling around this idea for our main pasture we use in the winter.

    I have heard that term! I hope so. She was exposed to the North American International Livestock Exposition Champion Katahdin ram. Fingers crossed that she was successfully bred. A ram lamb from that cross could be great for us!

    They are settling in very well. Im sure they probably think its much cooler up here in Maine compared to Kansas lol They are still a little scared of us, but I have a feeling they will be following us around like the other ewes in no time :) Now to just sit and wait for some fall lambs :) This...
