Nice catch :-) Thanks for sharing, I have hair sheep and I am waiting until they are sold to determine if I will castrate or not. I was hoping to castrate them near weaning for any rams not sold since I don't want to house a bunch of rams. This video was very helpful fo rme. I have a flock sire and just bought a ram lamb for future breeding if I decide to keep any ewe lambs back. I have Blackbelly (barbados) sheep.

The little ram with black legs, face & ears looks cool. I've never seen a sheep like that before. I only saw sheep that were all one color black, white, gray, tan etc. ☺

Tail dockin now illegal in EU!!

Would you treat your own babies the way you treat these poor animals. We don't want to eat animals and animal products. We do not need animal agriculture. We do not need slaughterhouses.

11:45 the real animal abuse begins

[@NikkieRoxxx]

Lots of disturbed people get sexually aroused by inflicting pain to another being, whist thinking this will make them earn money. WHY IS THIS LEGAL?!?
