Ok good to know, thank you!

Hello again, not sure if I should start a new thread, the lambs are all doing great, I have been kind of shoving the bottle in their mouths every time I go out there usually 2x/day, although it is more difficult now that they are faster, I am assuming the lambs will at some point not be able to...

Thank you so much, this is so helpful!

Ok thank you, I was wondering about this

Thank you! Yes most of my other sheep are very friendly, several let me scratch them all over, this one has always been a little wary, not sure why, assumed it was genetic. But good news with the lambs this morning they all still look well, a vet friend gave me some resorb to feed to the...

Besides sheep, chickens, ducks, cattle, dogs, cats, we also have one goose, and a llama.

Hi all! I mostly raise Dorper sheep, however I am also a llama mama, and we have one steer, a varying number of chickens currently somewhere around 15, and a goose, as well as a few cats and dogs. I have raised goats in the past and plan to buy one soon partly because they’re cute and partly...
