My husband has informed me that he thinks our ship has just come in and Its
about time. The emails reads as follows
.hello,I saw your ad on the {sheep} and it fits what I
have been searching for. I will be paying with money order or cashier cheque
, get back to me with your final asking
I don't know if anyone else feeds treats to there sheep or lambs . We have
found that our sheep really enjoy bread but find that if lambs are not
raised eating it with mom they don't usually take to it. But I have several
bottle babies that have found that they love round nacho chips. Just the
We have had 1 polled ram born to our horned ram and a ewe with scurs. This
is the only one so far in the blackbelly/corsican line.We have had about 100
babies born over the last 3 years. We did have a painted desert blackbelly
born about 2 months again though and it has 4 small horns started!
Cecil, I agree with you. I raised 30 bottle babies last year and the same
again this year,. 99% never having any of the moms colostrum. Although this
year I have had less trouble with scours. I have switched the artificial
colostrum I use to a premix instead of mixing calf colostrix with
it. The wormer does
its job its that the worms have done so much damage to her body.. Good Luck
.
We also will be attending the Exotic sale at Lolli Bros in Macon Mo this
next week. We will have some of our bottle babies there. Thanks Nancy

I have raised 28 bottle babies this year all starting in the house for the
first couple months I still have 6 to go!. There is no gag and if you find
one let me know! Every once in a while I get one who just wants attention
and will cry till she's horse or looses her voice almost completely. If
We have also had a ram lamb born with no horns to a ewe with scurs and our
ram Max. Go figure! He was gone in a heartbeat since we raise for horns and
didn't want him breeding anything here. Nancy

We were just wondering if anyone had ever crossed a Jacob 4 horn sheep with
a Black Belly? If so what did you get? We were thinking about doing this but
were wondering if anyone else had experimented either on purpose or by
accident. Thanks

Well since everyone is speaking of lambs . We have had 113 live lambs born
since Jan 1 to 64 ewes total. Some of these are Jacobs but over half are
black bellies of some sort. We lost 7 others for various reasons. We are not
done lambing yet. But I hope they hold off for about another week
I can't remember if I posted this or not bottle feeding has got my days
mixed up. I am beginning to post new pictures of lambs born if anyone likes
to look. The triplets should be pictured today. They are kinda shy. Thanks
for looking. www.freewebs.com/mossyspringsranch Nancy
In response to Elaine's question on powdered milk. I raised 30 bottle lambs
last year all on milk replacer from our Local farm home with no problems.
I have 2 now that are on it from birth and 2 more that were about a week old
when I started no problems to report yet. I just make it with fairly
Londa, You may try some Vitamin B shots to increase appetite and help with
the stress. I don't know that kaopetate helps rumen maybe it does I always
give some probiotic paste. to start the rumen or enhance it. Sorry she is so
sick . I would keep trying. I lost 1 baby for no reason and have worked
We will be selling our Ram Big Boy At the Lolli Bros exotic sale in

We have over 75 ewes . My husband can't get into the gate sometimes without
help opening closing for the truck. They come up to get hay or corn some
will jump in the back of the truck when the tail gate is down! Most we can't
pet but some will eat from your hand etc. We are experimenting with
We used to mix our own feed in a tub. We tried the beet pulp to add bulk
etc. The sheep loved it. It was in a large bag it talks allot to make 50
lbs. It looks like little shreds of dried carrot. They loved it and some
folks say they would soak some of it and give it in a pan when traveling

We raise the horned black bellies as well as Jacob 4 horns. They can be

I don't know if I read it here or on a web page somewhere but they spoke of
a special shot loaded with vitamins to give newborns to help then on their
way. Does anyone know what this is? I raise allot of Bottle babies as you
all know and I want to make them as healthy as possible. Thanks for your
My husband has found that if you catch the sheep several at a time in a
small pen then have a hay bale that you sit on. Set the sheep in a rocking
chair position between your legs. Walah! Just be careful when trimming the
back that you don't get kicked in the throat with the front hooves. They
Help! I have a lamb about 8 weeks old. She quit eating last Thursday. I

Hello, we are looking for a little advice. We are helping out with a herd
of sheep. 2 have bottle jaw already. We got all of them wormed with ivomec
oral on this past wednesday the 20th. We would like to worm again but how
soon? We can worm with either dectomax injection or cydectin oral .
Due to Ram overload we are going to be forced to sell our ram Big Boy If
anyone is interested they can take a look at his picture on our website and
give us a call or email. He is a very good breeder and easily handled. Very
good with young lambs as we normally keep him with ewes year round.
