Re: [Blackbelly] Blackbellies - Sheep slobbering and shaking while eating?

[Paul & Renee Bailey]

Another thought.....My sheep did this when I fed them dry, dusty feed or when I 
re-introduced them to feed after being away from it for a while. They'd scarf 
it down, start to choke, and drool, shake their heads and jump. Now I either 
add molassas/water mix to the feed or just give them less and more often during 
the day. Actually, right now they get nothing, because there's plenty of grass 
and clover.
