Subject: [Blackbelly] Safe Handling of Horned Rams
Does anybody have suggestions for their preferred method of restraining
horned rams for routin
Use a rope noose around the base of BOTH horns to help
control the head-- This is what a lot of the local goat and
sheep people do, as well as some of the cattle owners.
If you need to manhandle the animal, A good grip on the
horn area, along with a solid grip of the lower jaw helps
keep that hea
Does anybody have suggestions for their preferred method of restraining
horned rams for routine treatments such as hoof trimming?
Also, anybody have thoughts on disbudding ram lambs intended for
slaughter?
