My parents had sheep (among other livestock) when I was growing up. I was a "latchkey kid", which I prefer to call well trained. Starting in 1st grade one of my chores during lambing season was to check on the pregnant ewe right after I got home. I never once told the nuns at my Catholic...
Are you referring to me or BB? Because that is totally where my mind is going to with my rash. The goats show NO sign of mites and get Python Dust monthly. But I'm not convinced that is keeping them of ME!!
