Good luck, dear!

Please let us know all about it, good or bad...we all learn and it helps to talk about it the first time.

I'm trying to get her to get Katahdins instead!

This is little newborn Mo' Fats.

Aoxa,
I would take Bee's advise. She hasn't failed us yet!

I got some NuStock a couple of weeks ago and put it in an old ketchup container. Best idea I ever had. Some of the oil had actually escaped from the original NuStock container. What a crazy bottle idea. Anyway, I have to shake it up a little in the squeeze ketchup container, but it works well.

Your opinion, please. I was going to put mine into a small canning jar (whichever is large enough to hold it) and dip it out with my fingers. Do you think the ketchup-type squeeze bottle would work better?

My reasoning on the canning jar is that I will be able to use every last drop by reaching my fingers inside and wiping the last of it from the sides of the jar. I was thinking that the ketchup container would end up with the same issue of losing a lot of the leftover in the container that couldn't be reached.

When it was the original gloopy NS I placed mine in a ketchup style bottle too and it worked better than the lotion tube that it came in. With the thicker mix, I put some in a bag balm tin and the excess into a jelly jar. Worked out great and I don't think this thick mix could be squeezed from a ketchup container..it's pretty thick. More like a thick and creamy butter. I'm currently using out of the jelly jar container and I'm happy with it.

I did see that website. I think they're on the south end of the state and if I have the right info, about 6.5 hours south of me.

How does one go about transporting sheep (or cows for that matter) that are many hours away?

Thanks for the support, everyone!

Also- even though i have been following this from day 1, I somehow lost track of where people are getting their sulfur. I don't want to interrupt the flow by having a repeat, so someone could just pm me if they feel it's necessary. Otherwise, just reply here I guess.

Stock trailer is the easiest way to transport an animal. They can be rented, you just need a vehicle that can tow it and possibly the ball to attach it to your vehicle.
