[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1807781, member: 38595"] Here's my 2 cents on the worming thing. I think they have calf coat. Not wormy coat. Some shed earlier and some shed later IMO. I worm on an "as needed" basis and cull the repeat offenders. I have many that have never been wormed and seem to do fine. Some forages have natural deworming properties to them, chicory and plantain being two of them IIRC. I try to rely on them. Worm load is a heritable thing. Your animals look fine to me. Definitely shouldn't have been penalized for anything other than being sold as singles. And that shouldn't have hurt them anything like the discount you got. I'd find a different barn to sell through and be honest with them as to the reason you're trying them out. Here, there is a barn that's good to sell through, and there's a barn that's good to buy through. Took some $$$ to learn the difference. [/QUOTE]
