Good Morning Pamela Like I said I am talking about lambs I have butchered myself. My lambs are on pasture and about 1/2 pound of grain per day. These are all...
Barb I don't think it can be used in reference to the Dam size. Many of my ewes over two years of age weigh 150# to 180#, and the rams go about 250# to 300#. ...
The rams that I slaughtered were about 18 months old. I had kept them hoping to sell them for commercial flock studs, but decided to slaughter them when I...
Thanks Chuck, Ya know, I have recently had a wonderful lesson in the difference between a "browser" and a "grazer." It's like the difference between a pair of...
Browsers don't bother much with grass. They mostly nibble at everything but. Even standing on their hind legs to get the tall stuff. Grazers stay grounded on...
Hello Rex, Rumensin (Monesin) is a medication added to feed to prevent coccidiosis? Jannette Ray and Jannette Wood East Wood Farm, Ltd. Jacksboro, Texas 76458 ...
And browsers (including the sheep variety) aren't a good choice for a grassfed operation! Barb (who had to find out the hard way) ... everything but. ... stay...
I think at least some of that balancing on the back feet and reaching up to eat behavior has to do with the athletic ability of the animal. We've always run...
Trying to learn about sheep, are they browsers first like goats, or grazers first like cattle! Thank you Jannette Ray and Jannette Wood East Wood Farm, Ltd. ...
In my experience they are all grazers first, browsers second, but sheep tend to eat on a hierarchy. If those Ash tree leaves they can reach up for taste better...

I was talking with a lamb buyer today. He basically told me for this area (North Idaho & Eastern Washington) hair lambs are discounted $10.00 to $20.00 per...
With the Boers, they were definitely browsers first, but let me say on the way to the trees if there was grass, they'd stop and eat. They never missed an...
Susan Dorpers do both, we have alot of trees in our pastures as soon as a limb gets low enough one of the ewes will either stand on her hind legs or stand on...
I understand completely. I'm willing to take a $5.oo dock or whatever on the pelts if the buyers and processers are, I figure I'll get most of that back on...
I don't feed it, and don't know much about it either Rex! Prevenitive medicine should I or shouldn't I ????? Is it an antibiotic, and how long does one feed...

You can usually tell when goats are on a property by how high the trees on trimmed and then the llamas (if you have any) will trim them up higher. So you are...
It is mixed in the feed or you can get it in a mineral block. It also grows goats out real good! It is not a steroid either. It is more expensive with it in. I...
does not wipe out coccidian It is not 100% that is for sure, but before we starting feeding with Rumensin we had coccidiosis, after using feed with Rumensin...
G’day Pamela, We sometimes have a class at shows for a pen of three lambs that are judged on the ‘hoof and hook.’ Only one of the lambs is slaughtered;...
