    To clarify pump waste dip from plunge dipper and reapply to sheep via a shower that have dried from earlier in the day

    Sheep dip ( again)

    To get rid of waste dip after plunge dipping can’t cause resistance due to incorrect procedure as they have been plunge zippered The jetted or shower is to put the waste dip onto the sheep

    Through a shower or jetter if you wash them in clean water first so little sediment gets rid of it

    Getting ewes smaller

    A Swale would drop mature size and keep all the mothering instincts and lambing ease as a one off cross. Might look a bit funny for the first couple of crosses but as you get back towards puréed Romney the horns will disappear. Depends if you can live with the looks

    Side discharge bale feeder

    Think one the Irish unrollers comes with an optional weight system if you want more accuracy when feeding out. I run a Wessex and it is cheaper but not as well built as the hustler. Feed ewes outside with ours means we can have big batches without endless feeders downside is they are to feed...
