Also been drenched with Combinex for fluke.

Possibly but were bolused 3 months back.

They’re Texels so I avoid copper.

So frustrated. Did a fec count, high count, gave them Zolvix drench, still scouring, did fec again, low count. On a big flush of grass. They’re just not doing and look pot bellied. Any ideas please. 🙏🏻

I’ve just burnt off and dd permanent grass seed 3 days ago. As an after thought, to graze a few ram lambs in the winter, can I broadcast rape at a quarter rate to boost protein? What are people’s view on this please? Otherwise, are there any other suggestions. Thanks all.

Scald in ewes.

Which is the best for mild scald in ewes and lambs. Had more this year than I can remember before.

Aren’t they too young?

My Texels are barely a month old and I notice a few crusty ears. The ewes were bolus’d after Christmas so I thought the lambs would be supplied through the milk but that isn’t the case. Whet do you good folk find is the best multi bit drench? No copper

4 weeks to lambing and still no Heptovac P available. Can I switch to Covexin 10 now? Thank you for your advice.

Get some antibiotics and soak it in warm water and epsom salts. If you haven't got epsom salt, normal salt will do but put it nice and strong and give it half hour to soak. Miracle cure for things like that.

The bales are the same weight as a round bale if that helps.

I've got 235 big square wraps for sale. All nice stuff made in early June. Mostly temporary rye grass leys. How much a bale should I be asking. Let's keep it sensible please. ;)

If the lambs ears are a bit crusty, you know you have a cobalt issue. Give them 1 multi drench and bolus them and their ears will be like a teddy bear in 3 weeks.

No. I sold it to a young man who was starting a fire wood business. Gone to a good home.
