Stock Notes on Feeding and Care for Livestock
Clean, fresh water every day for the sheep flock is a rule. Do not stuff the colt with coarse fodder or it may become dyspeptic and suffer colic later. Dishwater and powders have no place in pig rations. A horse should move easily regardless of its galt. When buying, consider that pigs will be fewer if not kept comfortable. Do not feed timothy hay to sheep. give mixed hay, clover, or alfalfa to the flock.
