[blackbelly] RE: Blackbelly-blackbellysheep.info Digest, Vol 1, Issue 140

Well, this was real interesting to see today's digest cover 12 items over 10 
days -- any chance you put it together just for me, Carol, since I was 
disconnected?
Thank you Helmut for confirming the Dorper inability to handle corn; and 
Onalee, I did not change any feed schedules -- they've been getting the same 
combination of whole corn, rolled corn, and sweet grain for a year at least. 
 Since I posted the message last weekend and stopped giving them any corn, 
the diarrehea has completely cleared up!

Dorper get very easy prolabs/diarrhea when fed with grain in springtime. 
But
it depends on bloodlines.
White Dorper with red spots on the back don't have any prolabs problems and
handle grain well.

I have dorper/katahdins mixes and black belly sheep.  In the summer I feed
100% whole corn, in the winter 75% corn and 25% sheep pellets.  I have never 
had
any problem with feeding corn to the sheep.  I think the main problem is
giving them something they are not used to in large quantities that would 
cause
diarrhea.
