Fred Horak here.

There is a set of books by Paula Lawson (?), Managing Your Ewe and Lambing 
Problems which can be very helpful.  They have a lot of "yes"/"no" flow 
charts that help to zero in on possible problems...the diagnosis 
process...and then tell what one should do.

On the first aid quick fix tricks.  Once again we had a 4 horn ewe take off a 
lateral or side or drop horn at the skull while running through a gate with 
the lamb "crowd".  Once again, ran to the barn, collected all the cobweb 
material I could grab.  Made the cobwebs into a wad about an inch in diamter 
and a 1/4 inch thick.  Stuck it over the "hole" in the skull, tied a strip of 
gauze over the "web hole" and between the vertical and lateral horn on the 
other side.  Healed perfect but she doesn't think clearly because of the 
cobwebs on her brain.

the rodeo, my pick-up truck is paid for and I raise Jacobs for fun and profit!
