That's a good find.

I might've been thinking of @Sue Gremlin, who doesn't seem to be frequenting BYC anymore, unfortunately.

Here's their 3-part series on fecal floats:

The articles are so well written that it's almost tempting to get a microscope, but...pooh slurry

She seemed rather nice. She could certainly write a good article. One of many who were one day and gone the next. BYC can't really afford to lose such people.

8C, dry afternoon. Everyone got onto the field.
Looks like I may have an egg surplus for a few months.

Second worming dose for Henry today. He's such a joy to deal when it comes to getting medication down him. He's more or less back to normal now. I think he's lost a bit of weight. I keep forgeting to take some scales to the field. They all need weighing, something I've been neglectfull of.

LaFleche very kindly sent me a PM writing that she had read I was having problem erradicating SLM and suggested I give this a try.
