Stupid rams!

[SheepGirl]

This brings up the question of how to dispose of larger animals when they die or you cull them.

When I took my pre-vet large animal class, my ag teacher told me that (in our area, at least) it's illegal to bury anything over 100 lbs. We compost our sheep, though.

We live on a very large farm, about 1,500 acres. We bury our cattle and sheep whenever we can, other times we take them to our "bone grave yard" way back in the woods and lay them to rest.

Composting is a great way to go. We also will set a big bonfire here when needed.

Sorry you lost your ram.

We have Winchester lambies! A ewe and a ram! Winifred and Chester, I think that is appropriate!

Here they are....
Ram lamb, he looks so much like his daddy! For some reason he isn't doing well.....just my luck!

Ewe lamb.

Oh no. He is gorgeous. I hope he starts to feel better.

Oh they are adorable! It is VERY frustrating when a line you really need to replace just doesn't do well. We have a boar here that we are desperately trying to get a son out of but the girls survive & the boys die! Hope your ram does not quit on you but starts to thrive.
