| The wool sheep have enjoyed the wonderful and cool May weather. Perfect for growing new fleeces. Still have many goats and a few more sheep to shear before summer arrives. I am thankful we have had great spring weather here, so many haven't been so fortunate. Took advantage of the cool temperature to get everybody in to be wormed this week, it is time for parasite season to begin. Something the shepherd has to stay on top of, I will be watching everyone closely and bringing them in more often to be checked. I have been top dressing my feed with DE and it seems to be helping, it doesn't mean you can stop treating for parasites, but it might stretch out the worming schedule. A top quality fleece comes from a parasite free sheep or goat. |
