		Sheep and goats must be transported as quickly as possible to their destination; extended stops must be avoided, particularly in marshalling yards and during transhipment.
		Sheep and goats should not be carried when the weather conditions anticipated for the voyage are such that the animals might suffer or be injured, for example by excessive motion of the vessel, spray or sea water on deck, strong winds or damage to or displacement of the transport unit.

	About Sheep and Goats
		Sheep and goats are both herbivorous (plant-eating) mammals with hoofed feet.
		A "nanny" or "doe" is a female goat, a "buck" or "billy" is a male, and their children are called "kids." In the wild, goats can live anywhere from 9 to 12 years.
		Goats are most comfortable in groups, which are known as "tribes." Like sheep, goats are herbivores, grazing on grasses, herbs, tree leaves, and other plants.

	AnimalIss/shepgoat
		Sheep production in the United States is relatively free from criticism because most sheep are grazed in flocks, and lambs remain with their dams for several weeks before weaning.
		Some shearers restrain sheep by binding their legs, a procedure which is stressful in itself (3) and may result in injuries, but a comparison of the overall stressfulness of this method with up-ending has not been made.
		Dairy goat kids should be disbudded (horn buds) and males deodorized at a few days of age to minimize the stressfulness of the procedures and to avoid the problems of horned adults (9).

	The importance to Rendille subsistence pastoralists of sheep and goats in northern Kenya
		Goats and sheep have an important function as a source of meat which may, under the health programme, supply about a quarter of the energy needs and over a half of the protein needs in dry seasons.
		Sheep and goats are also a convenient size for minor trade negotiations and to meet social obligations.
		However, when sheep and goat production is combined, which we consider legitimate as they are always run as a mixed species flock, we find that their production of energy is the greatest while protein production is only exceeded by camels under the health programme.

	TSE in Sheep and Goats
		It is known however that sheep were partially fed in UK and elsewhere during the 1980s and early 1990s with feedstuffs containing the same type of contaminated meat and bone meal (MBM) that was responsible for causing the spread of BSE in cattle.
		The spleen of all sheep and goats and the skull (including the brain and eyes), tonsils and spinal cord of sheep and goats aged over 12 months or which have a permanent incisor erupted through the gum must be removed from the food chain and destroyed as specified risk materials.
		Sheep and goats for breeding must come from a holding which is subject to regular veterinary checks, where no case of scrapie has been confirmed for at least three years and where sampling of cull ewes is carried out.

	Controlling Leafy Spurge Using Goats and Sheep

		Both sheep and goats are sure footed grazing animals, able to live on arid land, producing milk, meat, leather, fleece, even serving as beasts of burden.
		Goats and sheep are closely related cloven-hoofed, horned mammals distinguished by cud-chewing and four-part stomachs.
		In that company, it is easy to see why sheep and goats are often referred to as "small ruminants." They characteristically have a stomach divided into four compartments and chew a cud consisting of regurgitated, partially digested food.

		Goats have been observed to stand on their hind legs and stretch up to browse tree leaves or throw their bodies against saplings to bring the tops within reach.
		The goat is not able to digest the cell walls of plants as well as the cow because feed stays in their rumen for a shorter time period.

		Bighorn sheep that do recover do not retain their resistance and are as likely as the rest of the herd to contract the bacteria again during subsequent outbreak episodes.
		Bighorn sheep are highly social and once the Pasteurella bacterium infects one member of a herd it is usually passed on to the rest of the herd within a relatively short time.
		The association of cattle and horses with bighorn sheep and mountain goats is not considered to be a threat for Pasteurella transmission.

	British goat may have harboured BSE - bse - 08 February 2005 - New Scientist
		New Scientist has learned that the British goat was discovered as a result of the French case, as UK government scientists prepared for the increased testing of goats after the discovery.
		BSE in sheep and goats would also be hard to spot, as both can naturally develop a similar disease called scrapie which has the same symptoms, although it is not thought to pose a risk to human consumers.
		And, unlike cattle, sheep experimentally infected with BSE carry the infectious prion in muscle meat, so the infection in sheep and goats could pose more of a risk to consumers.

	IB-OR-99-061-Guidelines for Management of Domestic Sheep and Goats in Native Wild Sheep Habitats
		The revised guidelines, which reflect a balanced approach for management of domestic sheep and free ranging goats in native wild sheep habitats, should be followed whenever reintroductions, transplants, or augmentations of wild sheep populations or proposed changes in a livestock grazing permit on BLM administered lands are being considered (see attachment 1).
		North American native wild sheep did not evolve with domestic livestock and therefore they are vulnerable to a variety of diseases and parasites carried by livestock, particularly domestic sheep and goats.
		In areas where there is a risk of interaction between domestic sheep or goats and native wild sheep, we recommend that each field office set up procedures for permittee to notify BLM of any observed interaction between their sheep and wild sheep.
