[Jacob-list] Bedding Questions

[Gotothewhip at aol.com]

First let me say that my older ewes fleeces are in HOORID shape.. many of  
them broke wool or are starting to break wool as they are approaching  
lambing....Additionally, When I brought them home, the shavings in my horse  trailer 
and hay I had given them is firmly in their fleeces now.  The  younger ewes with 
good fleeces dont seem to have this problem.
 
My question is , What type of bedding do you use for your ewes?   Anyone use 
the woody Pet bedding (wood pellets) .. I use this in my horse  stalls,  and 
think it would work fine in the sheep stalls.. But wanted to  check....  Im 
sure they may nibble on the pellets initially, like the  horses did, but lose 
that desire quickly!
 
Additionally.. is there a good site or book to learn about Llama  Behavior... 
We have the 13yo gelding hat came with the flock, and I have not  figured out 
his posturing....
