What time intervals are you feeding them? And how much are they allowed to eat? I have only raised 1 bottle goat and maybe 6 or 7 bottle lambs over a few breeding seasons, but in my case, they all got "scours", because I was following bad advice from a local breeder I knew. I was feeding them the right amount per day in weight, but...., not dividing it up in the middle of the night. I got to sleep fine, but they had diarrhea because I fed them far too much at each feeding. Once I set a timer to get up at 2am and do my duty, and they ate less each feeding, (but the same overall amount each day) it cleared right up. I was freaking out, giving them Corrid, anti-worm medication, and probiotics, etc, and had no idea I should just divide it up more. -Michael Smith, Perino Ranch Blackbellies _______________________________________________ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
