I haven't had that exact problem but have had weak lambs with very stiff
joints that wouldn't want to try to stand. We would work with them, moving
the joints slowly until they would get full range of motion and also
massaging the muscles of the back, hips and thighs and helping them stand up
and
We use goat/sheep wire on the perimeter of the property but electric fence
within the perimeter to make different pastures and keep them off our garden
and yard. This works for MOST of the sheep but we have had some lambs that,
even if doused with water, just went right under it. We even doused
I had one of these emails not too long ago, they were very specific and
wanted ewe lambs only. Then they told me they were somewhere in the
mid-west, I'm in Florida. Right then that said this is a scam, the next
email they started with the 'I'll send more money than the cost of the sheep

Hi,
I know most everyone here has mainly the black belly sheep, but on the off
chance that there are some like me that have other types as well, I thought
I would post here as I have lots of dorper/katahdin cross lambs available.
Below is the link to the photos of what I have at this time; I have
Most of my ram lambs are trying to 'breed' before they are weaned from their
mothers! They get really serious about it (and actually start to figure out
what they are doing and who they should be after) at about 3-4 months. I

Mine love COOKIES - I usually get cheap oatmeal cookies - they hear that bag
rattle and there's no stopping them. It's the easiest way to move them from
one pasture to another or get them to go where they don't want, just rattle
the bag and here they come running! We also use cookies as a way to
I don't know if it's true or not, but many sites say the DE you buy for the
pool filters doesn't work the same as the 'nursery' or food grade DE. It
may just be hype from the people that want you to buy the expensive DE, I
don't know.
I have also read somewhere that DE does not hurt Earthworms
We have bat boxes and the bats usually come in the spring but only stay here
long enough to have babies, then they move on, I presume further north
(we're in Florida). Bats are GREAT, but keep in mind, they don't just fly
around your property - they travel many miles every night. Many bat
I wish you'd send those sprinkles my way! We've been 45 days with not one
drop of rain and none in the forecast for at least 7 more days! Any small
hope that I had that I could stop buying hay for the sheep has disappeared
as quickly as the few blades of grass that were left on my pastures.
I find that often the ones that put their tongue sideways have a cold and
can't smell and therefore are reluctant to suck. Can you hear any
congestion in her lungs or does she have a runny nose? Although difficult
to do, I generally try to give these a shot of gallimyacin (sp?) and
