Seasons Greetings Sandy, Sandy wrote: All of the feed stores here said it was for cattle only. Sandy I am not saying you should or should not use Safeguard block. I can only tell you what I have done or presently doing. I do a lot of things that is not labeled to due. What ever you decide I definitely would not leave the Safeguard block down as if it was a regular salt block. What ever time period the directions say to leave it out I would definitely follow. With sheep you have to make sure they do not get too much copper. It might not kill them that instant but the built up of copper in their system will kill them.
In my area they have powder wormer that you can put into their grain. I have not used it but others in my area seem to like it. Personally, I can not afford to send fecal samples to the vet. I have a chute and I pull down their eye lids to see if the skin is pink or white. If white the worms are sucking the blood. Very seldom do I worm my sheep but my goats are another story.
