Hello, new member with questions about sheep

[Sasmith]

Our sheep have no problems drinking from our pond or creeks but they're usually pretty cautious about it and they don't hang out by them. But we're in central Florida and alligators are not uncommon

Do alligators like lamb?

 

[CntryBoy777]

Not sure about lamb, but they have a real taste for dogs....there are quite a few people down there that swim with their dogs and get bit trying to rescue their pooch from the jaws of them. They snatch em right off the banks.

Good way to get rid of that not too large pooch one's spouse dotes on and they hate

Another question about sheep is do the males urinate on themselves to attract the females like goats?

 

[CntryBoy777]

I'm not real sure on that, but I don't think so....at least I have never heard anyone mention it....but, I'll tag a few that have sheep that can tell ya for sure... @Baymule , @mysunwolf , @Mike CHS ....these have sheep and can answer that for sure.

No, rams do not pee on themselves, this is one of the things that makes sheep superior to goats!

 

[Baymule]

Nope. Rams don't pee on themselves.

That is the only thing that makes sheep superior to goats.
