Yep...the same old timer that sold me my sheep was also skeptical. Flash forward three years and he is now using my methods...is even putting garlic powder on his garden as an insecticide. Says this is the first year he hasn't had corn worms in his corn~ever. He is 76. :D

I think I made a believer out of him when I had my sheep for 2 1/2 years without using chemical dewormers and I returned them to his flock from where they derived...and they made the rest of his flock look like beggars. Good conditioning, healthy coats, bright eyes, twinning, thrifty on feed. Same breeding.

After calling my vet he said to give antibiotic. After a few days it cleared up. I never found out what it was, but it was definitely in the lymph nod.

What breed? 100 lbs is a pretty small sheep, most sheep are at least 130-150 lbs. The only breed I see being around 100 lbs is a Shetland... is that what you have?
