The diagram in that PDF, looks to be the same as the one I sent. So I
defer to the PDF.

Here is a link to the AVMA guidelines on euthanasia in animals:
https://www.avma.org/KB/Policies/Documents/euthanasia.pdf
The description on sheep and goats starts on page 55, and includes a diagram on
where and at what angle the gunshot should be placed, along with a quick
discussion on pros and cons on different types of guns and ammunition to be
used.

Subject: Re: [Blackbelly] dispatching gun
This is one of the better diagrams I have seen. Since this shows where the
brain is, and how small it is. It also gives you some sight lines to follow.
However for Blackbellies, think about how thick their foreheads must be from
all the head butting. I would never attempt a frontal line, especially with a
small caliber round.

I've never dispatched a sheep before. When you all say "behind the
ear", in what direction are you aiming? towards the spine, or towards
the other side, or towards the front of the head?
I would have thought the best entrance would be behind the head into
the brain, trying to break the spine and also stop the brain. No?
