These Plants Can Cause Birth Defects in Goats and Sheep
After we lost Lexus' lamb we searched for a cause and discovered that plants were to blame. Several Universities have done extensive
research and the cause and effect of these plants is well understood and documented.
Armed with this information we have eradicated
the offending plants and patrol frequently to insure they don't come back. These plants can also affect cows and goats but more frequently
affects pregnant ewes.
There are several more varieties that cause the same problem. If you want more info search the web under "monkey
faced lambs".
