Some farmers find that tail docking sheep is completely unnecessary, while others have experienced severe welfare problems if their sheep have not been docked. On most farms the main reason for tail docking sheep is to prevent fly strike (or myiasis).
The easiest and most common method of tail docking is to apply a rubber ring (or band) to the tail using an elastrator or ring extender. Banding is a bloodless method of tail docking. The band cuts off the blood supply to the tail, causing the tail to atrophy and fall off in several weeks.
AGE OF TAIL DOCKING The Australian MCOP for sheep states that tail docking should be performed on lambs as early as management practices will allow, preferably between two and twelve weeks. Sheep over six months require an anaesthetic.
Lambs should be docked to the third palpable joint or to the tip of the vulva in ewes and to the same length in wethers to reduce flystrike risk. Shorter tailed lambs have higher incidences of rectal prolapse and vulva cancer. Tail docking at a shorter length does not necessarily mean less flystrike.
Castration and tail docking Castration should be performed on lambs as early as management practices will allow, preferably before 12 weeks of age.
