it will definitely bleed- he broke it off around this time last year but it was much smaller. And as I mentioned above, I thought it was going to break off the first week of June. I came home to see him with blood dripping all down his face. (see pic) It cracked at the base, but stayed on and...

he is 1 1/2 years old. Yes its his only horn. The other side is just a small nub, has never grown past that. The curled horn is pretty sturdy. I thought it might break off a couple months ago, as it was bleeding from the base and cracked a bit. If you look close at the pic, you can see a...

this made me laugh. I looked this up last year, took a soft measuring tape for the job. Capone stood still, didn't even notice me measuring him. 33cm and he was around 10 months. He is a cross between Black belly Barbados and Katahdin. I bred him to my 2 ewes and he made 2 very...

my ram (and his lil whether buddy) are in a pasture that borders the ewe's. They sometimes congregate at each side of the fence, like their own social hour. But it doesn't cause an issue. I did put the ram in w the girls last night for about an hour, to see how they would re-adjust to him...

@Roving Jacobs @purplequeenvt @Sheepshape @SheepGirl ? let me know if you guys have input, thanks!!!

So my lil hybrid sheep has one horn and it curls. Well now it appears to be curling inward, and about to touch his head. will it just keep growing and poke into him? Should we get it cut or trimmed? Or, do you think it will just keep curling and not be an issue?

Not bad actually. He hasn't escaped his pasture for quite some time. I do let him and the weather out to meander around the other 3 aces. That is only cow fenced, so I can't keep them in there all the time. I think letting him out for a few hours every other day really helps keep him chilled...

here is what is interesting. Abigail is the lamb who's poo was greenish and not pellets. thats what started my concern. By the time the vet got it tested and we got the meds, it was 3 days later. Her poo was already back to black pellets. SO Im still wondering if her poo issue was more of the...

well wasn't expecting this...but here are the lab results. Strongyles, Toxcidia and Nematodirus. Good grief. Anyway she will be on Albon for 10 days and another medication for 3-5 days. I would imagine if she has it then my other lamb does too, but she shows no signs of anytinng. I'll...

Than ok so she was good last eve, even bounced a bit w her pasture mates. This morning lethargic, but would get up. I did drop off a poo sample to the vet. They are in a 1/4 acre pasture, but not so much grass as they have eaten most of it down. I do feed them a combo of timothy hay and...

If you missed my updated post below, the lamb fecal test showed Strongyles, Toxicidia and Nematodirus Original post: Im fairly certain she has Coccidiosis based on her symptoms (green soft poo,lethargic) vs barber pole. Vet cloased an hour ago, but i can take a stool sample to them early...

Im fairly certian they were inside before the loud thunder. Wondering if the echo noise scared them, and they felt safer just standing outside. yeah mine are Katahdin/Black belly Cross. They area really pretty and clean now tho:love

Last night, around 1130pm I was awoke by the largest crash of thunder and bolts of lightning at the same time. The storm was seriously, directly overhead. Freaked me the heck out. My entire house lit up. I look outside to see my ewe's and lambs standing in the middle of the field, drenched in...

ok thanks, the hair sheep have some lanolin in them as well, or at least it feels that way.

So far I have not actually found any ticks on the sheep. My dogs both had some the other night. Gave each their spring round of Frontline. I sprayed my yard, not the pasture. Since I have hairsheep, won't be shearing- but they are all blowing coats as I type. Are ticks something to worry...

Yeah I wonder what my neighbors think sometimes, when the chorus begins. Last night, moments after everyone got dinner, and mouths full I went back into the hay shed. OMG!!!! Hollering up a storm, mouths full and all. I just had to laugh. :yuckyuck Hilarious. I love all the different...

oh my I am sooo sorry. Ive only had one incident of bloat, when my bottle "geep" was in process of weaning. I ended up taking him to the emergency vet.

He made beautiful babies....although one is on the smaller size, the other ewe lamb is pretty thick and stocky. I'll go at least one more breeding round and see what happens.
