[Jacob-list] WORMERS - None user Question.

[Jim Millar]

Fred and all,
I have not wormed my sheep and they have been worm free.  I rotate
religiously, use cows and pastured poultry in the rotation.  I also use
basic h soap in the water during the spring and summer.  I lamb outside in
the spring on new pastures.  So far so good.
