August 15, 2020. West Plains, MO. Mary Scott checks the eye of one of her yearling sheep that she's just ear tagged. Pink flesh around the eye is an indicator that the sheep is healthy. If it's pale colored, then most likely the sheep has worms and needs dewormer. This particular one is good to go. Mary makes wool products from her flock to sell and is a fisheries biologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation by day.
