Re: [blackbelly] lambing kidding is complete

In my experience, IVOMEC has done the  best job for the least cost of any 
wormer I have tried.  I use orally it to  worm the dogs and to prevent 
heartworms 
also.  When a couple of drops are  mixed with mineral oil it works great for 
ear mites on the cats.  It  prevents ticks on the dogs when used properly.  It 
can cause some allergic  reactions in collies, so it is used with caution on 
border collies.   

As a note, I mix permethrin with mineral oil 1 oz per qt and put a  line 
down the backs of the sheep and the dogs for flies, fleas, and  ticks.  It 
works 
as good as the $125/ gallon stuff.  If I could get  the Insect growth 
regulator again, I would use it  also...

I had a ewe that was this way only she had lost her lambs last fall due to  
my guard donkeys killing them.   I did various treatments and  additives in 
the feed etc.  3 weeks ago I wormed the entire flock with  panacur.  She seemed 
to show a little impreovement.  last Saturday I  wormed the entire flock 
again with Ivomec, She is showing a great  improvement.   I had excellent 
results 
with Ivomec, and cannot  find any good reason that I used panacur, except the 
vet mentioned that panacur  was a little easier on the gut.  I bought into 
that myth about blackbellies  being resistant to worms ( OK I know I started 
something here) but my sheep will  get a worming every 6 months no matter what 
from now on. 
 
I would guess that this ewe has an Ivomec deficiency.

Hey all,

Been down in bed for awhile.  

Our Spring lambs produced 3 ewe lambs and one ram lamb.  One set of twins, 
the rest were singles.  The last ewe lamb had a white patch on her forehead, 
blackbelly markings on face and legs, but belly is brown not black except up at 
the front.  

All the sheep (9 total) are doing well with minimal care(no wormings, no hoof 
trimming thus far, no vaccines), dh has completed the fencing for this year.  
Next, a better shelter and handling area.

Question:  I have a young ewe that had one lamb this last season.  She is the 
most timid and gets pushed away from her feed.  She has gotten really poor.  I 
have checked for worms and it was good.  I pull her out every night and feed 
her by herself but she is still so poor and is due to lamb.  I am lost.  All my 
other ewes perk up after weaning and even get fat but not this one.  Does 
anyone have any ideas.  She gets the run of the place and does not seem 
depressed just looks bad.  I am open to any ideas.  We do not have a sheep vet 
this way or I would get her to him as she had such a nice ram last season.  OJ

Wonderful!
What kind of incubator are you using? I have never been that lucky, 
particularly with turkeys.

Here at Menookkaw Mountain the birthing process is
complete with a fifty-fifty ratio of girls and boys.
We had 2 lambs - one of each, a ewe and a ram - and
our 2 full size goats had does and the pygmys both had
bucks, we also hatched 2 batches of eggs - 64 in the
1st and 66 in the 2nd - with 25+ due in a few days.
everything went smoothly after we lost our first ewe
and her twins (she would have had a ewe and a ram so
still would have been fifty-fifty). Annette says email
us if uou're interested in pix :D

Be Blessed y'all!!! Alan
