That is what they call creep feed here - at the feed store that is how you ask
for it. It's a mix of pellets and grains. I think it's a bizarre way of
naming it - but that is what it is.

A few years ago we were having a streak of very wet weather. My ewes
started acting as if their feet were sore. I fed them Vitamin H or
Biotin as a supplement and in about 3 days it went away. Biotin helps
strengthen hoofs, It couls not hurt. Clovite is a good supplement that
has Biotin.
I'd never heard of this term either (thanks for asking, Michael!). I
Googled and think it may originate from Lamb Textured Feed. See

It is helpful to everyone to learn the various regional lingo so that
we have a broader understanding of the sheep community. When I first
started, here in Colorado they refer to sweet feed and COB and I
didn't have a clue. Now we know that lamb text isn't literature for
baby sheeps.

Hi Michael,
When I have a ewe come up limping I set them on their butt and totally clean
up their hooves with my knife. I have some common scenarios:
The hoof has separated from the pad and hurts. This can
her up and take a look tonight or tomorrow.

I have an old ewe that started limping about 3 years ago for no reason.
She still limps and has 2 lambs now. I would get a bottle of Banamine
and use the dosage same as cattle.

Michael,
Sounds like it is a back leg? If so, check her udder. Feel it for
fever, and also feel each of the teats. Also get down under her (or
gently set her up on her rear) and visually examine the entire udder
to look for signs of infection. If any part of it is hot, inflamed,
thanks, I'll check that. No, it's a front leg, though. I'll check for
nodules or cysts between the toes as well.
And Cecil, I might try some Banamine, although it's indicated to not
use past 5 days, and IV is preferred (not IM, since it can irritate
muscle tissue), which I have never done.
