Sandy, I did not think you were but I wanted to make sure and in case other people on the list had the same problem to make sure they understood. Sandy wrote: I found it very interesting that you didn't need to worm your sheep as often as your goats. Why is that???? Sandy, Blackbelly sheep have a natural resistance to worms and also a natural resilience to a low worm load as Carol stated. Most of the goats I know do not. Therefore my goats need worming more. If I worm a sheep it is very rare and only twice have I wormed them all at one time only because I run my goats with my sheep and my goats were having BIG problems. I am very low maintenance and only worm when I have too except for those two times. I do not do any normal preventive worming. I hope this makes sense, it is late for me and my mind has gone but my fingers are still typing. Good luck and have a wonderful holiday season! Keep me and the list informed on what you have decided and the outcome.

Sorry I should write better, I am new at this so I guess I just haven't figured out the lingo yet. I usually look at the label and make a choice but for some reason I was questioning my own judgement this time. I found it very interesting that you didn't need to worm your sheep as often as your goats. Why is that???? You mentioning about the powder wormer, that was what I was thinking about before a block. Since I feed them grain I thought that would be an easy way to worm them. I haven't found the powder wormer here that says its for sheep, it says for other livestock. Is a sheep system that much different than other livestock? Maybe that's what's been hanging me up. We haven't set up a chute and pen area yet, that will come this next summer. Once this is set up I'll be able to get my hands on the sheep to do what ever is necessary. I had never heard about the eye lid check, sounds quick and easy if you set up to do this. You have helped me out a lot thanks for your time. Best of wishes, Sandy ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
