Hi Carol, Im living in Southern B.C. in a city called Kelowna which is in the Okanagen Valley. I still would welcome knowing more on how to identify whether my sheep need deworming. Id prefer to stay away from any medications and havent done any deworming till now but then only had 5 sheep while now the flock has increased to 12.
