There is a danger of discussing any issue relating to sound animal health
treatment in an open forum because PETA maybe listening
At the moment they probably think that sheep are born with short tails and
are not removed
With their ability to bend facts to suit them selves then publicise the
misinformation, I would suggest that anyone entering a discussion on animal
husbandry be very careful in what you say and how you say it.
I believe that their ultimate goal is the banning of all animal farming

Subject: [Graze-l] docking sheep tails?
Can anyone tell me what the most efficient, serious producers do about sheep
tails? Do they dock them, or do they find it not worth the trouble?
I recall seeing sheep all over northern Scotland with long tails, and
gathered it isn't worth the effort there. Will I kick myself if we skip
tail docking in mid-Vermont?
thanks, Ann in Vermont
