You do know that they aren't on the same end as his head, right? They are big, but to hit his eye, they'd have to drag the ground three feet behind him! :D =D

Give him time, he's still young....at least when they start draging ...your such a good sheepople you will carry them for him :love

Out in West Texas, that's a problem. cactus spines injuring the more 'delicate' parts of livestock.cattle, sheep and goats.
Low hanging sheath, lazy prepuce (cattle) and low hanging testicles all a cull factor in cattle and/or sheep out there. Prickly pear, huisach, mesquite and other cactus like plants causes frequent udder problems as well.

Saw several good registered rams sent to slaughter because of injuries to their reproductive organs.

Since he is a sheep....it would be "sweetbreads".....but, when it comes to beef, they are called "fries".....and that would give new meaning to the Tim MacGraw song...."You want Fries with That".......:)
From my own experience, B&B is correct. Lamb fries are often called Rocky Mountain Oysters, as are calf fries tho I've also seen RMO used when talking about fried pig testicles.
Sweetbreads are different and is a name for internal organs like pancreas and a couple others like thymus. I stay away from eating most guts, liver being an exception and I'm pretty picky about liver.
