non the OP asked about dewormers that caused sterility-- I responded that her only concern needs to lie with white dewormers... logically response in my eyes.

medium downs are the super crappy, average southdowns of the large size... To be honest, I know of about 4 breeds of ewes that have horns-- and about 100 that don't... I don't see where that can realistically be a concern... To find cheap Southdowns- you just have to look.. i could find a ton...

cydectin is not a white dewormer.. it's either purple or clear...

x2 here... i get tired of those who don't inherit anything-- griping about how gifted we that will are... Gets old pretty quick... So what, our parent's and grandparent's worked for something other than fast cars, women, and vacations... I almost did shoot someone one year in deer season who...

what good would it do if it was loose? wouldn't stay on.

the two pictured above-- are genetically full siblings- but I believe they are from different- litter mate mothers. I'm not positive, I went to the guy's place- for an totally different reason-- and ended up getting back in touch with him after seeing these bunnies... I basically told him to...

I didn't read it... but I will later.. I can say that I know Dave Thomas-- and he's one of the best sheep researchers in this country...

for those of you wanting to know how 'productive' your land is-- go to websoilsurvey.com... this is a public access portion of our agency that we promote on a daily basis.. it's a great tool for those of you wanting to know more about your property-- click around on the soils info tabs across...

white dewormers can cause temp sterileness in rams, and preg problems in ewes if given during a certain time of preg-- but with that said, you need to make sure each sheep gets one dose of a white dewormer-- atleast once a year. right now is a great time to give rams white wormers-- as most are...

best option to me-- I would rank the downer as number 1 on my list of meaty, easy to raise sheep... and as a matter of fact is why we have some of them...

breech birth is not correlated to genetics, and neither should it have killed a ewe-- unless it was truly a 'breech' (not just backwards as is called breech very commonly)-- and if it was truly breech-- meaning backwards and upside down and legs not coming... then the lamb would not be alive...

B/c every time I told you it would be a bad idea- if you planned on winning-- you said came up with some excuse to show it anyways. Sounds to me like you had intended on showing it the entire time- regardless of what was stated as a response to your question... Which is fine-- I've shown...

my buddy borrowed a true Cinnamon male to use, and kept 2 sons for breeding-- however, this rabbit did not come from him-- she originated from two very high percentage NZ parents, one being solid black and the other broken black (nearly identical to the young buck I pictured). My question-...

At one point, I had the exact same thought-- that one extra birthing-- makes them more productive, and have more offspring... however, I was quickly proven wrong in both species-- in which the actual maternal ability, longevity, and milking ability was greater.. Whether that was genetic or...

are you amish? In today's busy world, I can think of very few who have the time to do such. I'm guessing the OP- wants a horse to ride-- not the things you mentioned.

oral is proven to be least effective.. injection is the most effective, cheapest, and gives you the quickest kill. poor-on is 2nd- but you have to part the wool if using on sheep with over an inch of fleece.

simple answer... yes... consider a 4x4 pen- to be 16 sq ft. consider your 10x10 barn to be 100 sq ft... big difference, and plenty of room to spare...

preferably pictures and definitions of what's dominate over what... I spent nearly all day today looking at the different genetic combinations and the dom/ rec genes on the different loci (which is easy to understand)... but what I did not find is such say breed a black tort bunny= to a...

how do you know? Any research to back that up? As a side note--- there is research that proves breeding ewe lambs to lamb b/w 11 and 13 months of age-- improves their productive life down the road. This goes against nearly the majority's views- and most of the people raising sheep out there...

ya-- we have that... To those with cheap land prices? If you land is cheap-- then what's it's productivity? Can one acre support one cow's feed for the entire year? I know those places in Canada especially-- 10 acres can't support one cow for a year. So, if you have to have 10x as much...
