He had me give 10cc penicillin one day and 10cc Baytril the next. Alternate for 8 days. Sounds excessive but it worked.

That could pose a problem. I'm sure most breeders stand behind the fertility of the rams they sell, I know I have. Buying one second-hand might be more of an issue. A seller might not feel obligated to stand behind him since he wasn't the breeder. If he got lambs from him last year, he might feel like it's a problem that occurred after you purchased him. I'm not saying I agree with that philosophy, just saying that might be the case. Some type of infection is most likely the cause and can usually be corrected, it just takes time. I'd have him checked again and if still no good, contact the seller and see what he might be willing to do.
I bought a yearling at Sedalia one year that had been used by the breeder as a lamb. When I had him tested, the vet said he was no good and never would be. I contacted the seller. He said he would refund my money or replace him, but wanted me to contact his son-in-law, who is a vet, and see what he recommended. He gave me an antibiotic and wheat germ protocol to follow and the ram came back around and I used him for several years. The breeder also loaned me a ram lamb (son of the ram I bought) to use in the meantime.

Did you buy him from the breeder or was he a second hand purchase?

They don't need electrolytes on a daily basis. Fresh, clean water.

We're going but not taking any sheep. Entered some but had good demand at home, so sold them. See you there.

Same as Lee, but we might use surgicals depending on the individual sheep.
