[Jacob-list] RE: Jacob-list Digest, Vol 8, Issue 13

Mon Jun 20 12:05:47 EDT 2005

Thank you all for your help she seems to be doing great.  Had it not been a Sunday I might have taken her to get it sewn up.  I am not going to retag since she will stay here hopefully no traveling.  She is still really jittery towards people since she was kinda wild when we got her.  No people contact.  She is acepting food from my hands but no touching she zooms off.  I am uusing the iodine since it was my only supply on hand.  I will be getting the others mentioned so I will have it when or if anything else happens (God forbid)  Is there anything else I should have on hand for an emergency?  

Blessings

>I've got some old ewes that look like they have two ears on one side because of the split where they pulled out an ear tag.  And one dainty little ewe lamb that needed to be eartagged for her health certificate.  She managed to pull the first tag halfway through her ear before the vet came.  I retagged her and the vet came.  The new tag is now halfway through the enlarged hole.  Hopefully, she can keep it semi attached until the buyers get her home to Florida.  I am not at all fond of eartags, but with all the regulations about transporting sheep, I guess it's something we can't avoid.
