I use a loose mineral salt mix. My pastures aren't that great and I don't
trust the hay I get so I always supplement.

I use a loose sheep mineral, one that has no copper in it. Yes it is
outrageously expensive, but my sheep don't eat much of it very fast
so it lasts a long time (a bag every year or so). In contrast, when I
used a mineral block, they ate it like candy because of the molasses

Carol,
What immediately comes to mind is too much protein in the diet, unless there
is a disease present. Can we find out what the ewe has been eating?? Sorry

I have a small herd of 26 American blackbelly. I would like to know if
they are a good breed for dry conditions, as we are going through a
VERY severe drought. If not, any ideas on a breed that handles semi-
arid to arid conditions
I had one do that last year and come to find out the baby could not get the
plug out to nurse. The vet had me milk the ewe and make sure milk was coming
and then I held her and the baby, I had help, and got baby nursing. Could not
stop them after that. I would like to hear what others think.

I mix it with mineral at the rate of 1 oz to 1 qt oil, then with a 1/8
inch hole in the cap of a squeeze bottle, apply a line from the back of
the head to the tail right down the center of the back. I have also
mixed 1 oz to 1 gallon and sprayed them, but the mineral oil works the
best. I

How many sheep will this 50 gallon treat? If 10 sheep are drinking the
50 gallon they will naturally comsume more (of the basic H) than if they

I have a ewe with a one week old lamb. The lamb was nursing for most of

from my experience .. .
A shot of oxytocin (from vet - this is an RX med) (sp?) will make her let
down milk if she has any - if she is sick - maybe a uterus infection, she needs
to be treated for the infection. Did she pass her afterbirth ok? Does she have
a bad discharge from the birth
