FEC came back, Stromgyle at 50 EPG, Nemo at 50 EPG So no need for a drench yet. Oocysts at 10,000 opg so getting up there but no real signs of mucky bums other than 1 or 2. So Im not rushing to drench yet., maybe end of next week

They have an outlet in Sedgemore, and they have their own vans on the road locally. Ive collected from Exeter Market many times and also had stuff dropped off when needed

Have you tried Barkers? Their pricing is not bad and they will often deliver for nothing

Did a couple hours today doing exact the same.

Agree, not had to do a second dose. Just look at the label of the drench I listed above, says residual effect for 2 to 3 weeks to break the cycle??

Chilly start to day but perfect sunshine to move ewes and lambs onto next section. Just needs to warm up please.

Yeah I used to as well. But now I drench alongside a white one as have to have them in anyway. Then I know every lamb has been treated

For those using drench’s the best value I could find was here: https://www.sam-turner.co.uk/products/cocci-drench-2-5-mg-ml-oral-suspension?variant=41437659496587 No script required. I’ve given up with the cocci buckets, ewes always went to them and ate them before lambs knew what to do.

I had to physically kick the dealer from behind to take my bid…😂 Only bid I made to be fair

Genuine and decent kit mainly. I out bid him in a farm sale fur a merlo, laughed and then shook my hand.

Yep. Thats normal for me

I went thru the scanned empty Hoggs Monday, found 1 definitely in lamb and she’s just dropped her lamb. Spotted her messing about 90 mins ago, just been to check and saw tongue and one foot so quickly caught her and found one leg back. Despite being a ewe lamb and the lamb being a fair size...

lamb 300 or so outside. Ewes are set stocked. By scan. Singles in bare fields, multiples on good grass. No supplementary feeding other than energy licks and mineral blocks. Ewes are numbered pre lambing when I vaccinate them. Lambs are tailed and tagged before 24 hours old else I can’t catch...

What age would they be?

Born outside
