Tail Docking Brochure

Maryland is one of several states that has a tail docking policy for 4-H sheep and lambs. To learn about Wyoming's policy, read this brochure (PDF). The brochure has a diagram showing the location of the coccygeal vertebra. To show sheep in Wyoming, 4-Hers must have a signed certificate from a veterinarian that says their lamb has a minimum of three full coccygeal vertabrae in place.
