Quick Update on the Sick Wether

All dried up and doing well. I am certain now he just was being fed way too much, he was being fed a ton at a time by his teenaged owner, who thought to get him to gain weight back quickly by feeding him a lot without our knowing it . I told him that this way of thinking almost killed the sweet thing, and we are going to start back over at the beginning...one small handful of grain at a time, gradually working up to more. Personally, I think that now that SPring is coming, grain will not be needed, but if it makes him happy and he can contain his enthusiasm, ok. Thank you all for keeping me sane, I really was losing it. We just haven't had the best of luck around here, no matter how careful we have tried to be.
