About this listen

In this episode, Liv and Rachel catch up on what is going on in their flocks. Rachel discusses a treatment for parasites that involves alkalyzing sheep feed with lye and a coccidiea treatment. The primary discussion then shifts to explaining why Liv prefers polled sheep (no horns) and Rachel does like horned sheep.
