I just ended up finding one on my local craigslist actually. It was for a 4 month old ram but when I got there he wanted nothing to do with me wasn't friendly like the ad had claimed and I drove 3 hours north to get him, but luckily the woman had a little wether who was also 4 months and the...

They are already banded, all the male lambs, about 4 weeks ago actually. They are around 3 months of age, and not very big. I don't want to just toss him/her in with my other yearlings. All of them the old and potentially new are from the same farm, but the farmer said his sheep do have worms or...

I already have 1 wether, he's my not so little baby boy, and also have 3 ewe's - in a couple of days I have the chance to look through a friends herd of newly weaned lambs I really want another boy, I find them more friendly I just can't help but worry about the first wether's thoughts on having...

2 of my sheep have metal dog tags on them and that acts as a jingle against their collar. They don't really mind it, and like you said, helps keep track of them hahaha This morning she still has a little lump, it's not leaking blood like last night it's a scab now.

I was going to spray it with alushield but she's one of the more flightly ewe's, if she see's you with something that isn't just your bare hands or food she's nervous. But she stood perfectly still when I used the tick remover on her so I think she knew I was trying to help, except now that it's...

Here we have so many different types of ticks, dog ticks, deer ticks, so on so on... I just googled it and it says it's a Dermacentor marginatus aka Ornate sheep tick. I'll keep an eye on it. It wasn't swollen with blood but it was latched on and on the swollen lump it's red and the hair is...

I've had sheep for a year, 4 Katahdin's (3 ewes, 1 wether), and today is the first time I noticed a tick on one of my ewe's right under her jaw. She let me take the tick off, it appears to have been a "dog" tick, but now it's been a couple hours and she still has a marble size lump. I squeezed...
