[Jacob-list] thin ewe update

[Tom and Judy Riddolls]

well sharon seems to be puttin gon some weight, at least she is not lossing 
anymore.  she still stampedes across the pasture when i rattle to grain pan, 
so maybe she is one the mend.  I wormed her with valbazen and ivomec and 
have been giving her shots of yogurt and lots of hay.  But as said in the 
info sheets on Johne's they can show signs of improvement even when 
infected.  I am going to bit the bullet and have her fecal tested for it, 
but that test takes months.  My vet says having a small flock (only 7 right 
now) makes my chances good that they might not all have it.  He said in 
cattle infection rate was 11%.  So far so good.

Let's say she is no infected, how long should i notice her putting on 
weight? Her back does not feel so bony, given a cup of grain a day plus good 
feed how fast woudl an animal go from a 1 to a 2?
