Collin, Same here in terms of species ID in North America - all those nematode eggs can not be differentiated to species or genus, except for Trichiuris, ...

Thanks Chuck and Jim, That's valuable stuff. I think that from the pictures, and with my skills, level I will need to continue to have the eggs hatched. In a...
Nina you are right I have not thought of this market. I live in IL. I don't have anyone for this right now....but I HOPE I can remember when I do to mention...
When one of our ewes had twins, the first born was the strongest. The next day, I noticed he was starting to look thin. Later that afternoon, he appeared to...
The weak lamb didn't make it. When they get that weak, it's tough to bring them back. Having a small flock and being conscientious shepherds, we always try . ...
Sorry about your lamb Jody. It is always hard. Well if you are like me it is. Bo-Se is Selenium and vitamin E...we give a lamb shot at birth of Bo-Se, ...
I have 3 different kinds of Nutri-Drench type stuff on hand, so quick energy needs and vitamins are covered. I haven't administered injections to newborns on a...
Nothing was clicking with me on your description. I did like Kathy Agan suggestion of BoSe. It requires a Vet's prescription to get and it is a good choice...
Sorry to hear about the little lamb. I ve never used antibiotics on new born lambs as a preventative measure before. Can you tell why you do that? What...
Jody, I take it that you are saying that you inject each ewe after lambing with Oxytocin? This sounds like a pretty good idea. Do you also use uterine ...
For me, a huge par of the idea of shedding sheep is easy care. I treat animals that need treatment and work to save lambs. But having to use oxytocin on every...

Jim I can't remember if there is much selenium in the nutra drench. Do you? I do use the nutra drench for nourishment for the weak lamb too. But I give every...
After having a bad start this year with ewes not cleaning I am giving our ewes oxytocin after lambing also. I am not using the boluses. I am not saying I ...
I won't bother to look at the ingredients. My assumption is that since Nutridrench can be used in all regions of the country, it won't have significant...
Until last year, I used boluses after every delivery. I couldn't find them in the catalogs any longer, so I didn't use anything as follow-up last year. Since...
Hi Pamela I have used this lamb shot for years and I beleive that the antibiotic is to prevent navel infection. I find it a great tool. Right now I am at a...
Jim I agree with what you are saying. I got into hair sheep for ease of care. And you are probably right about not giving the oxytocin to every ewe but if...
I have an older ewe that had a set of triplets yesterday. Everone is fine but I suspect the boys are going to need a little extra milk. Somewhere I've seen a...
Can I ask just a general inquiry type question - nothing inflammatory. Why is everyone using oxytocin? Retained placenta is an acknowledged consequence of...
But having to use oxytocin on every ewe, whether she needs it or not to increase milk and passage of afterbirth is a negative. Using antibiotics and vitamins...
Hey, I made a pun! I agree that hair sheep need to be easy care, but each of us have different motivators and satisfiers from our sheep. I really enjoy...
