SheepGirl, it was my mistake on the photo, that pic was at 14 months but it was taken in Nov, not July. The vet came out today, it turns out that while he did break the tooth, it was his baby tooth, it is now out and there is a healthy adult tooth coming up underneath it, so all is good. I...

Thanks Bossroo, that was just brought up today by me to my vet, at this point we are going to take more photos tomorrow and over the weekend unless something starts to look infected or changes for the worse. I guess he is at the right age to be getting his adult teeth.

Thanks Baymule and Alsea1 for the comments/advice, I appreciate it. Alsea1, I have studded him out to both black belly and Barbados sheep in the past, in fact both breeds were originally mouflons crossed with domestic sheep, though I'm not sure which breeds. I'm in Northern California, if your...

I raise pureblooded mouflons, I have a ram that is very special, he never loses his winter colores. In summer, instead of the duller beige coat he gets a short coat but the pattern is the same deep red and black with white saddle like in winter. With that said I do not want to lose these genes...

Thank you for your experiences and advice. They have calmed down but not enough for me to leave him free in the barn at night with her. I solved the problem by putting up a dog run in the barn that is 12 X 6 so she can't get to the mouflon directly. When they are out in the pen she will push...

Last week I received my mouflon lamb (it's a ram about 3 months old) and my 5 month old "wild" goat doe will not leave him alone, she keeps charging and head butting him as soon as they are in the barn for the night. It has been a week and she will not leave him alone. I go in and separate him...

Thank you for the explanation, I actually looked it up on the internet as well and have all of the different sizes of oral syringes for my other animals. The good news is he is only about 10 weeks old so I just mixed the dose in warm water and gave him his bottle, he drank the whole thing in...

Thank you both for the replies, and especially the links to the other threads, I don't know what "drench" is, what is it and how do I do it?

Hello, as you can see this is my first post here, I am new to this forum and to goats but not to animals. I have raised exotic animals all of my life, mostly I have kept wild cats like servals, caracals, leopard cats, although there were lots of other types of animals along the way. Right now...
