Sheep Teeth
« on: July 26, 2015, 04:40:52 pm »
Hi,

I'm new to this forum and I was wondering whether I could please ask your advice about sheep teeth. I'm showing my Whitefaced Woodland sheep for the first time this week. I'm showing 2 2-shear ewes and 2 gimmer lambs. The lambs were weaned 2/3 weeks ago and all the sheep and lambs have been on Lamb&Ewe mixed ration for 4 weeks. When I was looking over the ones I'm taking to the show I noticed that they all have discoloured teeth (brown) which I assume is due to the molasses in the ration. Has anyone seen this before? And is there anything I can do about this staining?

Any advice you can offer will be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Siobhan
