What to do if you see a sheep stuck on its back

[@Choekaas]

"A few hours more and it would've died". Damn. I didn't know it was this serious. When I was 19, me and my friends were at a party and a bit drunk, we went out and crossed a farm. It felt bad since we were trespassing, but then we saw this sheep that was laying on its back. We were thinking of knocking on the owner's door, but were afraid of getting yelled at (we were drunk, and trespassing), but we felt so bad for this sheep that was simply laying on its back so we turned it over. I guess we saved its life.

I can't believe how chilled out and relaxed the sheep looked stuck in that predicament while you spoke about the possibility of it dying, this is the best

[@byebyefeather]

😅😅😅

[@Punkini]

Likely shock from stress, not calmness. It likely had been struggling for a while trying to get back up, which also means its exhausted. Animals in life threatening situations go into shock pretty easily. Its real important to know calm from shock, as it applies to humans too. If youre looking for an easy way to tell the difference, check the facial expression and check the muscles. If theyre tightened and still, shock is more likely. If theyre relaxed and moving regularly, calmness is more likely. The sheep here is tense and has an expression like its passed out, so shock is most likely.

My wife left a message saying we would enter the field and try to flip it over. The coolest thing happened when we approached the sheep: It stretched its front leg out towards us as if it knew the procedure! It was a lot easier to roll over than I expected and the sheep got up and walked off.

I remember my dad telling me about how difficult it was to raise sheep. "They can't wait to die" is how he put it - anything and everything you did with them was, apparently, incredibly traumatic for sheep to experience. Even moving them to a new pasture frequently ended up with some of them just dying for no reason.

[@Rwizaify]

That’s true. They’re highly sensitive to certain traumas. If something hits them in the wrong spot it can be fatal in a very surprising way. The sheep will stand still for a little while and then it’s over. But that particular individual looks unhealthy in general, structurally unsound. For example, it doesn’t appear capable of butting heads with another sheep.

Wild goats are badasses that can eat most anything with cellulose in it, walk up nearly vertical walls, and murder you with their heads. Sheep... are like chihuahuas. Chihuahuas came from wolves, but that was so long ago that they have no ability to survive without a human taking care of them.

Hi. Shepherd from New Zealand. Sheep in NZ are not used to be handled regularly or people, in some cases on remote stations, rarely seen. When you’ve righted the sheep she will often take off, trying to run, scared. Because the blood has drained to the back area her weight is often unbalanced and in trying to run, will stagger and fall and flip onto her back again. We recommend when getting her into the standing position to hold her. The easiest way is between your legs, hands on her shoulders. No jokes please, this is serious. Hold her for a few minutes to allow the blood to recirculate before letting her go.

As others have said, the diagnosis is 100% correct, but the cure is only 50% so. You don't want to roll over a sheep that's been laying on it's back, because you can twist up it's insides. You want to come up behind the sheep's head (don't worry, it won't bite you) and pick it up by the shoulders and try to push it up so the weight's resting on it's butt. Let it sit there for a minute then push it over onto it's front feet. It may be unsteady but the risk of fatal gastric volvus is much lower.

WARNING. Never turn a sheep back via its side. By turning it sideways, the animal can get a stomach tilt and the sheep can still die from that. Try to put the sheep on its butt by grabbing it by its armpits (note some sheep weigh up to 60 kilos, you really have to do that in pairs). Then let the sheep sit for a while, the sheep will then get oxygen again and the sheep will feel a bit stronger again. If the sheep is on all 4 legs again, it will swing for a while when walking, keep an eye on it so that the animal does not fall into a ditch. If a sheep is helped in time, it will be grazing in the meadow again within 10 minutes.

Excellent video for informing the general public on this crucial livestock welfare issue. As a sheep farmer, to anyone who watches this, if you see this occur whilst you are out walking, PLEASE do try and intervene, even if your presence drives the ewe’s lambs away from her or not. Don’t worry about this, they will return to her in due course. However, If the ewe is in, what looks like a dedicated lambing field connected directly to the Farmyard, then inform someone present, as first response. As entering a field full of ewes having lambs, can cause mis-mothering problems to occur, whilst it will certainly be the case, that someone will be screening the field continuously each day. On our farm, by far the biggest threat to our Ewes (Especially when Pregnant), when they get stuck on their backs is being attacked by Ravens. These birds are very intelligent and widespread across UK farmland nowadays, whilst they will not wait for the sheep to die, thus often attacking the eyes and stomachs first. It is horrendous for the sheep when this happens. If it is a Ram in trouble or you are not physically capable of intervening yourself, please contact the owner or ask someone else who is passing by. Above all, please use common sense, Thank you!!🐑

[@thisisforvids]

@@_permanence the farmer said it was from being too heavy. So yes, it's because of farming practices -- either fattening them up for more wool area, not shaving them as often for more volume, or selective breeding for greater wool production.

[@mehere8038]

@@thisisforvids That's what I was thinking, this sheep is obviously heavily laden with wool & there's other videos popping up beside this one in my recomended, also with sheep on their backs & also with heavy wool coats. I've never seen a "fat" sheep, I don't believe there's any breeding or management to create that, after sheering, they always look slim, the amount of wool is clearly not natural though is it! Apparently wool on sheep naturally falls out on it's own, but we've selectively breed for it not to, so it builds up & builds up until they are shorn. I've also never heard of this happening where I am, in Australia. Not sure if that's because the sheep are too far away from people & sheep losses to this are just written off with no-one knowing, or if farmers here engage in different practices that do reduce it. I'm suspecting a mix, but mostly the latter, that sheep here are on less lush grass & so probably grow less wool in a year, or are shorn more often if they grow a lot, so as to allow them to be more independent without dying from falling over, or heat stress from carrying so much wool in the outback. I mean if it's happening cause of the amount of wool, then it's clearly easy to prevent isn't it, just sheer more often. Sure, that costs more in sheering costs & possibly reduces income with wool being shorter, but surely it's worth it to keep sheep alive & with good welfare?

[@markwright3161]

@@bigdave9949 Unfortunately there isn't the quantity of personnel on UK farms anymore to make that sort of thing possible. The often lone farmer has to obviously leave each flock of sheep to do all the other chores on the farm, and even when those are done, just travelling between different flock's grazing can be hours in itself, especially for larger flocks where the area of grazing needed isn't as widely available anymore with housing developments and anti-farming schemes claiming more and more land all over the place. Larger fields being used for arable will contribute too, but farmers are being forced to make every acre count as the costs increase but the prices for the products aren't going up to match. All the high yield ground has to be used to make money, as much money as possible just to stay afloat, something that doesn't come from livestock, so the flocks get pushed out to the hilly outskirts ground that isn't as friendly to growing crops on, hence how it takes so long to just visit them to check on them. If farmers let the economic element dictate their choices, they'd give up farming for some office job to get paid ten times as much (no minimum wage in farming) for half or a third or even a quarter of the weekly hours, but then where would the food come from that everyone needs to live? It might seem like a stupid question to ask, but currently the UK government is more concerned about paying farmers to grow something in their fields for 2 years that humans can't eat, something that could pay up to twice as much as growing food, so they seem to want the return of war time rationing without the war element being present to have initiated it. With your experiences outside of the UK, you'll have seen different ways of achieving the 'same job' where minimum wages may not apply to many if any other jobs, but the 'cost of living' (a favourite political slogan here at the moment) will be lower on average than in the UK, and there's likely less political hoops that farmers need to jump through just to sell livestock, etc, which cost money to reach. This isn't to say there aren't challenges everywhere you've worked, it's just it's a different set of challenges and circumstances in the UK that lead to farming having one of the highest suicide rates of any career here.
