I can echo the wet grass problems. I have one ewe that does poorly in the Spring/early Summer. THough I will say that she did much better on the other farm I had her on in Amity. Different vegetation. This year I may separate her and dry lot her with hay, or I may just go ahead and take her to the butcher. My ram, King Henry, has some intermittent trouble with the wet grass season, and it's his time to go to the butcher, soon as I can get help loading him. He's way to heavy for me.
