So, do I just separate him from all other livestock?

I have an ungelded jack who is 18 months old. We found a sheep in shock with its horns ‘chewed’ off last week and tonight our lamb looks like he has gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. I do think it’s the donkey. I know he needs to be gelded but what else can I do to stop this aggression from him? I...

We have a very young (perhaps a week old?) orphaned lamb. He is feeding well but how do we feed him if we have to go to work?

Thanks! That’s great advice, will get some today

I think so too....He has progressed in a week from not putting weight on it, to hobbling on it to now trying to run after his mates (again read annoy them!). I think I’ll see how he is over the weekend and if still improving will leave him to heal if not prob have to get the vet out $$$$

I have a 7 month old jack (about to be gelded next week) who we have had for a bit over a month. He is a sweet boy and we want him to be an interactive part of our 10 acre farm life. He is showing signs of aggression, biting, running at us and sometimes even trying to stomp his front legs at us...
