[Jacob-list] Ram story and wound treatment

[Sue Roenke]

OK, so I go to the kitchen to make some lunch, and I look out the window and 
see our 2 horn ram, outside the fence, with a gate stuck on his horn!!!  My 
shepherdess was away       doing 4H stuff, so I holler at my middle daughter 
to get outside right away.  As we approached him, he comes to a halt, he 
knows we are coming to help, gentle ram that he is.   We tried to get it 
off,  finally   managing to turn  it right side up and untangle his horn.  
It looks  like he was trying to itch between his horn and wool, got it 
stuck, pulled up the gate, which isn't secured (thank goodnes!) and tried in 
vain to get off. He jumped or walked over the Premier eletrci fencing, which 
was on, went over to a  Russian Olive shrub that they hang out around,  
flailed to gate againist it trying to get it off, and nothing worked.  He 
probably walked  a few hundred feet with this gate on his head, and I wanted 
to take the time to find the camera, but I was more concerned about Patrick 
to do that!  Ahhhh,  the joys of farming...LOL

For wounds,  we use tea tree oil and water in a spray bottle.  Have used as 
a dip for cords too.  Works great for us, and natural.
