Chillin' with the herd
I have three Texas Barbados blackbelly sheep, 1 ram and 2 ewes. We got them about two months ago. they were on the thin side when they arrived. they are in a good pasture and I supplemented thier grazing with dumor sheep feed. After a few days I put some corn in with the feed and they ate it up. Last week I ran out of sheep feed and gave them corn only which they ate as usual. third day I noticed that they did not eat all of the corn and some of thier excrement seemed a little runny. I finally got some sheep feed and for two days now they are barely eating any of it or the corn. I know changing diets messes up digestion but I only gave them straight corn for a couple of days and they had been eating it for a couple of months? I'm keeping an eye on them and not sure whether to worry or let it go for a while to see what happens? Any suggestions would be appreciated as these are the first sheep I have ever had.
