NCM vs welsh mule vs scotch mule. Are they all fairly similar or is one particularly better?

Having a really bad problem with fly strike this year in the lambs. All lambs have been treated with crovect. it has been reapplied to them all but I’m still finding new lambs with strike. Can anyone suggest a reason why I’m still having problems and also suggest a different spray?

Ground is fairly level so was hoping I wouldn’t need to put much stone in. I don’t really want to take out finance so was going to build in stages. Starting with roof on legs. Then adding sides, door and floor in the coming years. I have 2 self built shed out of timber and tin I built a few...

Always feed into a trough. Did consider abortion but only twins were affect and each had 1 lamb born normal. They also all gave birth when then reached full term. Have sent one to the vets to be tested but have been told may take 2 months for lab results. Hoping someone might be able to shed...

So I’m only keep sheep as a hobby (about 50). 20 are earlier lambers. Finished lambing them yesterday. All have lambed previously and the same tup was used and I didn’t have this problem last year. all singles lambed fine. I had 5 twins. all of them birthed themselves but 1 lamb was alive and...
