The top health of all our animals has always been my priority on the farm. And I think i have come to a point that I’m able to recognize most issues with the animals. But, im always wanting to learn more.

Urinary stones are issues with most male smaller livestock, like goats and sheep. They are common especially with wethered/banded males. We process our smaller livestock usually at a year old. Before any issues with stones occurs. For our intact males, like Bucks and Rams we do a preventive treatment twice a year. Feeding Alfalfa will cause stones.

I let a lamb go a year too long (life happens) and I noticed yesterday he was not himself. At feeding this morning, it was obvious he was in discomfort and I suspected stones. It was past time to harvest him anyway, so before he got worse, we harvested him.

I had Kevin carefully remove the bladder and urethra for me and i analyzed it. The bladder was so dang full, poor guy. I found three stones in the urethra and a whole bunch of tiny ones in the bladder. I had no idea they were this small. I was looking for white calcium stones like in horses. These look like tiny BB’s. I sent my vet a message with some questions for educational purposes and I will see what she says. But they look like copper to me. Sheep can’t have copper, so I’m not sure what type of stones they are?

Just thought it might be interesting to some of you. Hopefully these couple pictures are not too graphic.

Looking forward to lamb chops soon.

Edit: just looked them up and they look exactly like this. Dark calcium deposits.

This is our grandson Caden. He will be showing his girl Diesel on Friday at 5:30 and selling at auction Sunday at 2:00. We are so proud of you Caden and can’t wait to watch you show.

Hi! My name is Caden Lindsey and I am 16 years old. This is my 5th year showing a pig at the Mariposa County Fair and I have enjoyed every part of showing. It has been a great year with my Gilt, Diesel. She is a light cross. I am excited to see how we work together come fair time.

Besides showing at the fair, I also play football and I have participated in the welding team. I have enjoyed all of these extra activities while keeping up with my grades. It’s hard work but worth it. I hope to see you at the fair. thank you for your support!
