Oh dear! That's evidence enough for me! One other thing I learned about B/P in the article I quoted was that B/P is low in fat, and that the addition of fat in the ration materially increased butterfat in cow's milk...I think I may top dress the nursing ewes' ration with some ground flax seed meal...add some efa's and butterfat to the lambs' lunch!
