never heard of it. hopefully some one else has insight for you.

usually if you seen an amber colored mucus it is close. white mucus is usually the mucus plug and it could still be a few days. Good look and keep us posted.

I have not seen any post by @Southern by choice in forever. I do not know her, other than advice she has given me on my pyr cross and by reading her very informative and witty stories. I have been off the site for a month or so, just busy-ness of summer, and since I have been back on, there...

I would say lots of paperwork and very hard. you would definitely need to show generations of work. and that they breed true, and continue to breed true. you would have to write up breed standards and functionality too, not impossible though. what are you breeding?

I have heard that garlic is good for worms and flies. I mix powdered garlic in with my feeds. i am no expert though.

Firstly, let me say I am sorry for your loss. I hope you are still on the forum. I have gained a lot of insight into our practices and a few little "ah-has" that have really helped me, from posts I have read by you. We too try to stay all natural, but keep wormers on hand and your story has...

Thanks for the responses. I have had her over a month. I guess I should have been a little more descriptive. the smelly, wetness is in between her toes. no one has koppertox locally so I am ordering it. I have been soaking in Epson salt, drying it, and putting on a fungal spray at the moment.

I have a nanny that kidded a few weeks ago. she is limping. I checked her hoof and between it, it is moist and stinks. like really bad atheletes foot. I don't think it is hoof rot but I am not sure. any advice will help.

believe it or not, the girls took it very well. Its the wife that is having the most difficulty. she has found both cases while I was at work and she wasn't strong enough to get the buck out of the creek by herself. he was too far gone once I got home

Thanks, @Hens and Roos, but that is something we all face in livestock/pets.

Well we have hit a string of bad luck, hopefully it is over. knock on wood. had a ewe prolapse, first time that has happened for us, pulled the lamb, it was dead, lost the ewe a few hours later. then my wife came home to feed last night and the buck had jumped the creek, slipped on the mud...

I have a question for you @Southern by choice, he wants my children so bad. I have been having a hard time to keep him from trying to climb the fence to them when we are working at the barn. He has jumped up maybe once, but a firm "down" and he stopped. but I noticed when the girls were...

my wife was able to replace the prolapse and pull the lamb. it was dead. the ewe died a few hours later. big lamb. just one of those things that happens unfortunately. fyi sugar does take the swelling out!! Thanks for all of the responses.

she was fine yesterday when I checked her :(

Have you ever had a pregnant ewe prolapse? she should lamb any day and my wife just found her. do you know what to do. I have no harness or spoon. never thought about it. should I try to gently massage it back in. i'll post a picture but it is nasty

@Southern by choice, he hasn't played at all, she just wants to play with him. he lays there, with his head alert as she tries to smell on him and bounces around. I need to be more specific with my descriptions. sorry.

He is ignored by the goats, so far They still haven't bonded yet. :( Although the kid is interested in him but her mama will not let her play. we have one more doe to kid so hopefully this goes smoothly, and we can get the kid/s interested in him very early on, and him to them. the sheep just...

so we are having a grea time with Winston!! Of course he is in love with our youngest and I don't know if it is the best thing to have a 3 yo train a dog!!!:th but he listens to her best and she is very good at taking directions!! He really is a great dog and is learning very quickly. we...

So just to clarify, where it says price range 290.00-300.00 that is not the overall price that the sheep sold for, that is for the hundred count weight. I move my decimal 2 places to the left and the price per pound range would be $2.90-$3.00 then I would apply this towards my lambs weight, if...

Can anyone give me advice on how to read the usda market prices for lambs. I am having a heck of a time reading this thing. I have just been taking the market weight span and that market price span, finding that average and then dividing the price by pound. does that make sense? we have a...
