sheep care- for healthy sheep it is important to remember that they do need some copper
in their salt and minerals to be able to effectively rid themselves of assorted stomach worms.
I mix goat minerals with my sheep minerals add kelp and ground garlic. I put this
in several tube containers around the sheep shed and the sheep self medicate.
For worming I use the FAMACHA method and individually worm when the sheep show
signs of anemia... Since adding copper to the sheeps mineral mix, the fleeces are even
better, stronger and softer to spin.
