Hi Michael, I'm sorry to see Harpo is having problems. Hopefully you can figure out what he is doing to cause the wound. I thought I would let you know what I have done to help keep my ram from scratching on fence posts and other things. I called my local street swiping company and asked them to save me a couple of there old used brushes then I just put them on a post in the field. My ram absolutely loves them. The bristles are tough so he can really rub his horns all over and get a good scratch. Since installing these last year I have not seen using anything other than them.
