Urinary Calculi

We lost a ram lamb to Urinary Calculi this year, and have begun to look into preventive measures.  We do not grain our sheep, so we are carefully examining the other possible causes for this condition. We are putting out mineral salt (to keep them drinking) and ammonium chloride free choice as a preventitive.
