So my lil hybrid sheep has one horn and it curls. Well now it appears to be curling inward, and about to touch his head. will it just keep growing and poke into him? Should we get it cut or trimmed? Or, do you think it will just keep curling and not be an issue?

If you missed my updated post below, the lamb fecal test showed Strongyles, Toxicidia and Nematodirus Original post: Im fairly certain she has Coccidiosis based on her symptoms (green soft poo,lethargic) vs barber pole. Vet cloased an hour ago, but i can take a stool sample to them early...

Last night, around 1130pm I was awoke by the largest crash of thunder and bolts of lightning at the same time. The storm was seriously, directly overhead. Freaked me the heck out. My entire house lit up. I look outside to see my ewe's and lambs standing in the middle of the field, drenched in...

So far I have not actually found any ticks on the sheep. My dogs both had some the other night. Gave each their spring round of Frontline. I sprayed my yard, not the pasture. Since I have hairsheep, won't be shearing- but they are all blowing coats as I type. Are ticks something to worry...

I have a feeling the most responses will be "Freezer".... But here goes. I purchased my Ram, Capone, last year when he was freshly weaned. So about 4 months old.He is now 14 months old. He was curious as a ram lamb, but not overly friendly. Not aggressive at all. I also met his father and 2...

My 2 ewe's are first time moms. They weren't much of noise makers before, but now they baaa out of control. I as soo much look at the pasture, and they go off....and on and on and on. Its like they think I'm going to steal their babies at any moment. I can't even walk to the chickens (in a barn...

we only have 2 ewe's expecting, with Pearl being due first. took some photos, as we finally can tell she has a little one in there. I can see her utter is showing some, just couldn't get a pic. she is restless more than usual and flickers her tail constantly. Im thinking we have a couple...

I have a 3 1/2 month old katahdin ram lamb and 2 lamb ewes (one is Barbados cross) from same farm (plus my sheep/goat hybrid who is now castrated) My understanding is that the relation is more like 2nd cousins(if that close), not direct siblings. Are they ok to breed with each other? I've...

few month old bottle lamb who thinks I'm mom (was a solo lamb and lived inside for a bit), and after almost a week of being outside, He paces most of the time- baaa'ing when Im not there. I don't want the little fella to have a damn stroke. any ideas or how long this process takes?

These little ladies are Barbados Katahdin cross. 3 months old. I'll bring them home in 2 weeks.

I'm the one w the hybrid lamb. He is 8 weeks now and fully weaned. The last day and a half, his energy level just kept dropping. Normally he belts out any time I walk away from him (he is still in a pen in the house). He normally follows me all around. Well not right now. Temp is 97, he just...

HI All, I introduced myself yesterday in the welcome thread and mentioned that I ended up on your site bc of the baby Geep I have. To give some back ground on me, I grew up raising horses pigs and cows- but never sheep or goats. In researching any information I can to successfully raise the...

HI all, I just found this site and thought it will be a great resource as I am a new sheep/goat owner. I have what some refer to as a Geep. His mother is a sheep and father a billy goat. No joke. I swear and currently in talks with a University in California to do some genetic testing...
