If your feed has whole oats they could be choking on it. We have had them gobble down feed with alot of oats and the little burr on it sticks in their throat. They drool and choke and jump. I did loose one young one who foamed and I couldn't do a thing for it. It got the foam in its lungs and died. Sheep are gobble guts so you really have to watch what you feed. Nancy
