Cocci is usually a disease of young lambs, are people worming shearlings routinely then? Am I really mean? Mine get a drench after they lamb down if they are lucky. Shearling rams get nothing.

I don't believe it is diet: she was messy when she was in on pellets and haylage and still is on my unimproved but clovery upland fields.

She seems fit and well - no sign of discomfort or loss of condition. No odd behaviour.

I wouldn't say she was scouring as such: she produces very sloppy doings which she seems to manage to get all over her back end somehow, but it isn't liquid, yellow or smelly. Just...cow-like...

Neither do I me, I was thinking worming wise, we wouldn't dose them as often as a lamb but neither dose them like a ewe.

Definitely cull, you don't want to breed from that.

Having said which, I had a last minute change of heart and kept Harry Potter because her fleece was so interesting.  She's still a mucky one, but so far  her lambs don't seem to be following her in that.  They're both ewe lambs, so I'll be making sure I know which ones they are and monitoring them closely up until keeper selection time .  I still have mixed feelings about HP though... she's done a great job, has a fabulously sproingy fleece, but she is, always, mucky at the back.

"Sproingy! what a lovely and apt word

If she was put on high risk pasture after turnout she may have picked up worms which have  damaged her gut.  I, too, wouldn't breed from her. She may look fine now but struggle to raise lambs.
