Weak lambs should be aided to suck or fed milk by hand, then the ewe and lamb require careful monitoring. Do not move pigs from infected areas and isolate distant purchases for two weeks to watch for cholera. Sorghum is favored for silo in Florida, offering richer digestible nutrients than corn and higher green forage per acre.
