[Jacob-list] I-D Powder

[Linda]

This is the entire spiel.  I'd just pasted a couple of paragraphs to my original post.  Melody - I did hear about this from Ron Keener, the transporter.  I'd never heard of it before.  I'm curious if it might of use to the occasional lamb that seems to need a boost.  At the very least, it appears that it wouldn't hurt.
