prevent bloating if they happen to overeat on grain.  That is not much of a
problem here since we only feed corn in the winter, and not so much that any
sheep could overeat on it.  We did have a ewe back in 1989 get into a
cornfield that had been harvested and find a little pile of spilled corn.
She ate until she bloated and when we found her it was too late.  I think it
says Operf. C & D on the bottle.
Someone had inquired about our docking tool.   We have had it for years and
paid $60 for it at the time.  I think we bought it from our vet - will check
with my husband.
