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!
