You did not mention how old Marley was. I suspect he did have some age to
him. OPP (Ovine Pulmonary Pneumonia) could be involved. There is no cure
for OPP and it is contagious. Your vet can assist you on testing. If it is
OPP you will want to test the rest of your flock. OPP is not rare here
. It is up to you to test and evaluate what is effective
in your operation.

a liver checked for copper levels.
For liability reasons I would expect veterinarians not to recommend copper
sulfate usage. In this era of litigation they really have no option. It is
also the reason I will close this post with the statement use copper
sulfate at your own risk.

Hi Rick,
Your sheep would love it if you left the mud between the blocks rough for
them to rub on. The rougher the better. You could even cement in a layer
or two of rough bricks for them to rub up against. If you have rocks
available you might be able to construct a specific rubbing wall just

Wish you were closer Michael. I have a litter of livestock guardian dog
puppies being raised with bottle baby lambs right now. The puppies were
born April 15th and the lambs are recent. All one happy family.
Glad to hear the goats are coming around!

My Great Pyrenees cross dogs bark... a lot. They bark at the hawks and
vultures in the sky. And I laugh when I see these birds feel the need to
fly higher. I have been out at 2:00 am checking on my sheep in the pasture.
It is awesome to see those glowing eyes closing in on you at full speed.

Hi Michael,
I have seen lambs delivered nearly a week early to over a week late from
actual date of service. Basically the lambs are born when mother nature
says they are ready (in a perfect world). We are lambing right now and it
started with several ewes apparently conceiving the same day
lambs
at one year of age but we have lost to many moms and babies when the ewe is
young. The late spring lambing allows the ewes to raise their lambs on
pasture (provided it rains). We are aiming for twins and triplets once a
year.

That is awful! We have Tibetan Mastiffs guarding our flock. I hope that is

bloodlines meld together. At some point I will have to stop using so
many rams due to all my help leaving for college and careers. So far I have
used 104 rams to get to where I am today.

they
are being eaten. To be politically correct I will not mention nationality
but the sheep is butchered, cooked, and eaten all in less than 24 hours with
no leftovers. It is a party atmosphere where all family and friends are
present.

software. The only sheep that get names are the All Stars, Bottle
Babies, and those with good or bad personality traits (Knee Breaker,
Precious, Spunky, Big Boy and Psycho come to mind). Just to many sheep to
name them all here.

Hello Michael,
The greenish brown mass was the stomach contents. This mass being found
away from the carcass indicates to me it was a predator or canine scavenger.
Canines eat the offal first all except the stomach contents. Vultures are
the ones that are very good at cleaning up the carcass.

I searched the archives but didn't find an answer to whether you can trim
the horns back a bit. Who knows the inner physiology of the ABB's horn? We
have pasture pet working wethers, not show or breeding rams so it is
important to keep and fix one of our Boyz whose horns
this helps.

I am happy that others seem to have success with DE. It was a waste of
resources in my situation.
