Clean of scab, dirty for worms. Potentially impossible to achieve. Realistically worm levels in the environment should be extremely low at this time of year so if you have scab, deal properly with that.

I don't (or no reason to believe so) Am selling up (barring 5 'pets') and buying in new flock. Just trying to devise a plan for bringing in so many new sheep in a short space of time, most probably from at least four different sources.

I'm sure @bovine you'll tell me to speak to my vet but I'd like your opinion too. I don't have much faith in my vet but have little choice due to location.

Startect is a good bit cheaper, if that makes any difference....:whistle:

Being a combo drench, we might expect Startect to avoid resistance building up a bit longer than Zolvix too, if NZ experiences of combos are anything to go by.
