Margali's Griffin Wood Ranch

Cassandra and I tagged the 3 babies with ear tags. We also dosed Scarf and Coconut with Ivermectin since they are pale eyed. I will be getting a different category wormer on Monday.

I can't believe I only have one ear tag left for this year. (GWR19 and GWR20 broke). I have 5 ewes due mid January - March so I need to order 2025 tags. This time, I will leave the male tag without number so no mismatch opportunity.

Tags are a pain. I tag our sheep woth colored tags relating to which ram sired them. Unfortunately I forgot to number the tags differently which means that several lambs have the same number just different colors. Now I have to register the lambs with a letter referring to their tag color.

I think from now on, I will order double numbers, a tag for each ear. At the rate mine drag them off, they drive me nuts.

And it never ends. Socks and Oreo are both feeling poorly with scours. Their eye colors seem okay. I'm guessing coccidia. I need to review what to do to treat it.

Any temp? If so, usually something else --summer pneumonia.

Cocci -- SMS tabs (sulfer meds), Toltrazuril, corrid. All by mouth is fastest/bestest.

You need to get rid of the bad stuff magnet!!

This time pf ear very possibly summer pneumonia. Any wheezing? Temperature?

Summer pneumonia?

 

[Ridgetop]

Changes in temperature can bring on pneumonia - like summer colds in people. Do you have a livestock stethoscope (available cheap on line)? Listen for wheezing in the lungs. Easily cleared up with Pennicilin.

Well, there’s something else I need to add to my sheep supplies.
