Thank you for that Fleecewife it made a rubbish morning a bit better - shitty bums run in families --



Tee hee !  ;D  Dozy me I didn't even notice I had written that  ::)

For the licky buckets Andy, if they haven't had them for a while, or ever, they go a bit mad and just like sticky treacle gingerbread with us, it will go straight through.  Put the lid back on and open it up for only a short while each day.

I've heard that high magnesium licks are worst for giving sheep runny backsides. 

Is there any improvement/difference yet?

looks just the same, its difficult for me to assetain if she is spending too much time on the lick, i am trying to sneak up to see which ones are on it. her wool is stained down her tail and on her back legs its difficult also to know if she has improved

If you catch her up and trim off the stained fleece from her backside it should give you a better idea of what is going on, and also you can check her condition at the same time

all the best
