WARNING: You will see a sheep rectum in this video.
I am dealing with my first rectal prolapse in our ewe, Maple. She is such a sweet girl but I’ll tell you, it’s been quite the learning experience and challenge for my gag reflex. The consensus among farmer friends has been to pack the prolapsed section with sugar and push it back in. This may seem easy enough but I’ve found it to be quite difficult for a newbie like myself. I’ve see this is more common in feedlot lambs but Maple is on grass with a tiny bit of hay and has no other issues, so the cause is a mystery. Vets can suture the rectal opening so that there is just room for Maple to poop, but this can be a costly procedure. There are also “rectal rings” available which essentially do the same thing as the sutures. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Margarita is one of our dairy goats. We recently gave her what we thought was an excellent opportunity at date night but she was less than grateful. Pete however was very happy!
Healthy pregnancy means keeping mama healthy - and as an older mom I take my daily dose of fermented cod liver oil / concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture for its omega 3s and vitamins A,D &K. It ended my lifelong battle with cavities and is genuinely great food-based source of nutrition. You get 10% off with promo code "ALISON" at checkout. https://greenpasture.org/
Have you ever read the insert that comes with your cell phone? Longtime investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson told me she remembers getting her first cell phone with a warning not to hold it next to her head. Decades later, she checked and the warning came with her latest cell phone.

We got back late and knew we were close to chicken predation time. My best idea was to tell the kids to run screaming toward the back pasture. We didn’t lose any animals so maybe it worked? At least it looked funny. I’m sure the neighbors were a little bewildered - or not because we are probably already known as “those neighbors”. 😂
Anyway, you gotta have teeth to scream “GIT OUTTA HUR” at foxes and coyotes so go get that fermented cod liver / concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture! It healed my chronic battle with cavities. It’s also packed with anti-inflammatory omega-3s. We take it every day. It has been part of my daily routine for 15 years.
