Post by: sheepgirl1 on March 27, 2021, 06:37:04 pm

Hi all, a newbie sheep keeper here. First babies born couple days ago. Advice is much needed though! How far do I dock tails using elastrator? And what are the harms in docking too high up! Very scared and anxious as I don’t want to harm my beautiful babies! Ta all in advance for your help :)
