The hay in the area was ruined due to late rains. The sheep are showing hoof scald and hoof rot at times. Treating with copper sulfate is effective.

We got 5″ of rain on the 22nd but then it didn’t rain for a long time afterwards. Last year there was a bad drought too so… Continue reading 2022 August Month in Review
