Hi John,
You can't be serious! I thought my vet topped the expensive chart. How much was YOUR cast? (Gads, I might have reason to think less poorly of my vet!)
Your poor ewe--hanging upside down with a broken leg! She must have been in great pain. Did your vet put the aluminum "walking splint" outside of the cast?
My ewe just drags her leg--even with the aluminum support she will not walk on it. I've had all of the ewes confined in a small corral ever since that ewe broke her leg. I don't want her having to keep up with everyone and thought that once she has her lambs she will probably move more at her own pace and be content with her babies while the flock moves farther away. Hopefully the remainder of the ewes will finish lambing in a week and I can let everyone out of the corral. They are bored.
Carol

My conclusions thus far are that 1) we need to beware of trees with low forks, 2) Colorado vets are less expensive that Baldwin County Alabama vets, and 3) the price of lamb is going up every day.
