Sex injuries force Baz the ram into lounge room retirement after castration
Baz the ram is, or at least was, very committed to procreation.
Key points:
- Baz, a seven-year-old ram, is recovering from castration in his owners’ home to prevent infection
- He was forced to have the operation after repeatedly injuring himself during mating
- Having the operation was the only way for Baz to safely live out his life among his sheep friends
Three years ago he was rescued by Steve Burt and Angela Hocking and now lives with them on a block of land in Helidon, two hours’ drive west of Brisbane.
“The people who had him didn’t need him anymore because he’d bred with everything he could on their farm,” Mr Burt said.
Since then, among a small flock of ewes on just 0.80 hectares, Baz has fathered 13 lambs in three years.
