[QUOTE="Sheep135, post: 4584758, member: 45602"] The Welsh draft ewes I bought back in September and October have lost quite a bit of condition recently for some unknown reason. When bought in they were fluked, wormed and bollused before being turned on to a good bite of grass. While they haven't been spoiled since they arrived they haven't been run on no grass with nothing to eat, as a guess is say atleast half were a bit leaner than I'd like them to be while others are as fat as mud or are in good condition. Had the vet out to look at them and took a FEC to see what was wrong with them, the worm egg count came back at nothing and waiting on the results for fluke. Our better bred ewes that have been run on the same ground with a similar amount of grass In front of them are in excellent condition so can't understand what is wrong with the draft ewes. Does any body have any ideas of what could be causing them to be In poor condition? [/QUOTE]
