Barb, Thanks much for that insight. I know that my sheep really don't drink much water at all - especially, as you said, this time of year. I think I may still give it a try, with them all SO pregnant right now, I hate putting them thru the stress of catching and worming. They got a really good worming from the acorns in late summer (although I did have one ewe who got constipated very badly on the acorns - so many were blown off the trees at one time with the storms, they just gourged themselves on them). I wish there were some way to save a bunch of acorns and feed those to them several times a year as a wormer - they worked great, but the sheep wouldn't eat brown ones, only green ones. You'd think someone would figure out what exactly it is in acorns that acts as a wormer (acid? fiber?) and make an organic wormer out of that compound.
Thank you!! Onalee =============================================== This message is from the Blackbelly Sheep mailing list (http://www.awrittenword.com/listserv/index.html).
