you speak of this 'white muscle disease' should i inject my lambs when thier born ?

We use a free choice gradulated sheep mineral that contains all the vitamins and minerals that sheep require. We live in delta area with very rich soil and our sheep still use quite a bit of the mineral. So I can see where if you have deficient soil how that could be a problem. Thank you for the information.

@MsMarcie123 They are Zwartbles originally from the Netherlands. The deficiency is a problem of the local soil conditions and has nothing to do with the breed. The deficiency can lead to 'white muscle disease' and you either inject the ewes once a year or the lambs at birth (cheaper!)

@KuehneJ What breed of sheep is shown in your video? they are marked beautifully. We have over the last couple of years started raising a Hampshire/Suffolk cross or Club Lamb and are really enjoying raising and showing. My son is now looking to show a few pure bred sheep....so just wondering what your's are. Thanks for the response about the medicine you were giving at birth. Is the Nutrient Deficiency common in that breed?
Penicillin, Selenium and Vitamin E the latter two because of local nutrient deficiency in the soil. The former is given by some as standard but omitted by others.
