[QUOTE="Coximus, post: 4700030, member: 12800"] I'e lambed on acid moor pasture and alot of poor (landlords think it' good obviously) pasture.... even hebridean had poor teeth retention. I added limestone flour to water trough on advice of vet. They would disslve an inch layer in a month. Sheep stired them themselves as they were topped up by a ballcock. Made a difference to twin lamb and growth rates. Blood samples show most of my stock is ca deficient but not as bad as when on that land. My limed land produces fast lambs of all breeds. The lime flour is a quick cheap fix. Can also be mixed into moist feeds or molasses and fed as a quick fix. I found suffolk x were more susceptible than any others to ca def [/QUOTE]
