Get youjrself a .357 Marlin lever action rifle. You can use 38 caliber

not travel a long way if you miss...( 100 yd bullet drop). I use one
for coyotes in what is now becoming suburbs.

We use a 22mag rifle for the sheep as well as the beef we raise. It is a good
step up from the 22 long rifle, but not excessive. Also a darn good varmint
rifle.

Hi Kathleen,
I've not trimmed hooves on anything other than blackbelly sheep so I
can't compare. However, there is nothing difficult about trimming
them, especially if you use the correct hoof trimmer. I use the ARS
trimmers available at Premier1

Hi Kathleen,
I'm also in a dry area, but without rocks. I have to trim once or twice
a year since my BB's don't have anything to wear down their feet. I use
both a sheep hoof trimmer(The "Premier" Trimmer, from Premier1), and I

Anything larger than a 22 would be fine. A .375 magnum, .40, or 9mm or
10mm would work. We do it just below the ear.

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 a
