Well the vet came and confirmed what i thought, some ewes have lice, got them in 3 batches and some in each batch are starting so next few days are going to be busy, one batch today. I dont fance throwing them throught the dip so Asked the vet about showering them, aslong as they get a good wetting from above and below no problem so thats the plan for today and tomorrow, ill fluke as well well i have them too, then next big job clean all the and crap out of the sheds ready for them "coming home for lambing again", and it all starts again boys and girls

I had plooky hoggs worse than your pic, but the skin's looked fine, unlike your 2nd pic. Took skin scrapes, oxter wax and fleece pluckings to the vet and they searched and searched but found nothing.
I treated for lice anyway and took the pour-on option ... 3 years later I finally think Iv gotten on top of it
whole flock were at it last winter - ewes, lambs, ewe hoggs... there's 1 ewe Hogg possibly at it this year. They are away from home up on a remote hill so I'll leave her be and do the whole lot again once shorn.
Worst is everything will all look fine... until this time of year then start plucking again
Sheep never bother themselves much, but they look hellish
had they alot of wool on them ?We find crovect won’t cure lice on our Welsh ewes when they’ve got a bit of wool on them so changed to Dysect last year and it cleared them up a treat. I figured if it’ll eat through your waterproof trousers it’ll surely get through a ewes fleece!
