I looked into the Moxi dewormer and found it too be to risky for my lil' gal at this point. I will put a call into a couple people I know that have sheep but really there's not a lot of sheep breeders her in Tucson, most of them are raising hair sheep because they don't get the heavy wool. Is there a site I could look into on how to tell her age? I know how to age a horse by its teeth, are sheep essentialy the same?
As for her history.....She came from a lady that buys unwanted sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs from people that no longer want them or have no use for them. She is strictly a butcher facilty but its not a humane one. Her place is filled with animals and death, rotting hides, piles of fat, and blood pools everywhere. I cannot go out to her property without rescuing at least one animal. I wish I could help them all but thats not possible. When I went to go get Adel and her babies they were in a tiny pen, maybe 4x4? and there were four newly be-headed rams heads beside her pen, talk about stomach wrenching! The owner said that Adel had given her triplets for the past four years and thats the only reason she hasn't butchered her. However with this last birthing she was unable to nurse all three and one died, therefore she was moved from the keeper pen to the butcher block. This women has no respect for animals and just makes money off of them, she doesn't care if they are sick or hurt, its a sad situation.
On a happier note: Thanks for the info I will start making calls about her wool and her possible health issues.
