I have a 6yr. old ewe,she eats everything i put in front of her.Yet she appears very poor.I have done all routine vaccinations and worm her every 30 days.She has a semi arched back.Could it be she is just old?
well where i work we have a lot of older sheep and it could be a variety the vast majority of ours is just that large framed sheep ar etypically harder doing the bigger they are the more feed they need it seems as is a 200 pounder can get 1 pound of feed yet a 300 pounder needs 6 pounds of feed age could also be part of it plus genetics can affect it too hope it helps thanks
