I can't tell you how Harpo got the injury to his head but just a warning
about those nails wires or bolts protruding from posts or corners.
I've had both goats and sheep execute a quick run by such sharp items and
end up splitting a large gash along the side splitting their skin right
where it is difficult to stitch up and/or to get them to leave it alone once
you do.

is he scraping his head on the wood posts? He had a smaller wound in
the same place a couple weeks ago and it had started healing. The
other rams often get a small scraed off area with no hair on the back
of their heads in the same place, but nothing this severe.

I have a few of these fence studs that stick out (pictured), but they
show no signs of rubbing. Still covered with rust and no signs of hair
or even, being polished down.
the concrete pile could be a culprit, but honestly, they hate it and I
never see them spend any time there. I looked it over and saw no real
signs of rubbing.
hoping the local birds have not found a taste for sheep flesh, like
some nasty parrot breeds have been known to do.
