Chuck, I am under the impression that the Sedalia judge next year will an American and not be a South African and maybe ADSBS can run a sheep show like other ...
CR, that's exactly what I mean, what difference does it make as far as judging for a Studs ram if it can be fixed with clippers. In 2001 I saw a SA judge walk...
I learned a long time ago not to ask for a judge's reasons for not liking the animal I was showing. I had a very nice dog that got the gate at a mid summer...
Showing Dorpers unclipped has been an issue with me for a long time and found out I was fighting a losing battle.......at least with 3 months growth you can...
We are having an awful time with parasites this year. Our vet says that it is because of the weather we have been having. (flooding) We are trying to fence...
Brenda, parasites can actually Winter over in a pasture. The best thing is to keep the grass above 4 inches high, don't let them graze it to the ground. Are...
Where do you live? Rotation time in terms of parasites is based on temperature and humidity. e.g. In Malaysia, 30 days of no grazing is long enough to kill all...
Martha, I'm not talking about clipped, I mean untouched. I attended the Riverwood auction a couple weeks ago, every sheep done to perfection, washed clean...
We live in east Texas. It is very wet hot and humid here. I had 13 ewes in a 4 acre pasture. I thought it had enough grass for them. The vet said that the...
Chuck, The two that we lost were ewes with lambs. We noticed that they weren't feeling well and they died within 2 hours later. The vet told me that he has...
Brenda, as a ewe goes into lactation the parasite load increases. The ewes immune system is low as she stars to make milk. For a ewe that is the most dangerous...
I had to go through the same thing as you, I lost my very best producing ewe to parasites, despite frequent worming...I didn't understand about resistance and...
Brenda, www.scsrpc.org That is a good site with the best of the USA work on management of parasites in small ruminants at this point. Do you still have horses?...

Brenda, A key thing on parasites is that their effect on sheep is a function of nutrition, environment, management, season of lambing, genetics of the sheep...
Collin, Glad you brought performance into the discussion. A sheep show for meat breeds that does not include performance is only evaluating about 20% of the...
Hey group! I raise Kiko goats, but recently bought 6 Barbados(1 ram,2 ewes, and 3 babys). The guy I bought them from said it was ok to breed the ram back to...

It's not the temperature per se that kills the trees but the mild winters that lets more beetle larvae survive. The larvae bore through the tree and if there...
I have been told by folks who should know that this line breeding is OK. I had thought about following this advice but my ram was killed by a bull; so I now...
