to admin: I read your response to my orgiinal post request. there were no photos or attachments. only a URL to a website that shows photos that is not associated with this listserv. If that is OK, then hopefully you can post my message.
I believe the gist of the message will be lost trying to describe the problem if I do not point people to some pictures. here is the original post in plaintext if you can use it: >>> I am new to sheep, and building up my flock. Have had no lambs yet and am just starting to breed my ram with young ewes. A day after putting one of the new ewes I bought recently in with our ram, her scent glands in front of her eyes appear to be running a bit. We believe her to be about 7 months old and possibly in her first heat. Please take a look at these pictures. The black-looking pointy, sticky hair in front of her eyes is very unusual for her: http://picasaweb.google.com/mwsmotorsports/Beatrice_blackbelly_ewe112908802PM# I am wondering if it's a natural reaction to being in heat, or if she's got an eye infection? Her eyes otherwise look good and are not watering or inflamed. -Michael _______________________________________________ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
