Linda Sue and Willow

[Linda Sue Pardee]

Just got my first 11 month old neutered lamb, almost a ram. He has a scab on his back that looks to be well healed but should I apply anything that might facilitate the healing. It does not resemble the scab disease either. He is a beauty, came from Texas as a show lamb but now in Western, NY. He may have been a 4-H project. He’s quite big with no tail, friendly and loving. He was days away from being butchered. I named him Willow and I love him so already. Shall get him a ewe in a few weeks. I’m very grateful to have found you all. It gives me comfort being such a rookie at this, so I’m all ears!!!

Sheep do better with a friend. Being a show whether, another wether would make a good friend. A ewe would be ok also. Maybe you could find an older retired ewe.
Congratulations on your new pet. If he is a wool breed, he will need shearing twice a year.
I raise Katahdin hair sheep, they are a meat breed. Katahdins don’t need shearing and their tails are left long.
