Hi All, we are 90% way through lambing and have had absolutely no issues, all nice healthy lambs, ewes with plenty of milk. All of a sudden over the past week everything that's lambed has absolutely no milk and I can't work out why. Feed hasn't changed, they are all on cake, really good...

Hi all, I'd like to be able to do my own FEC but fectest.com no longer ship to the UK and i can't seem to find another supplier. Ebay don't seem to sell the slides either for me to purchase separately and the links in the threads on this forum to slides/microscopes etc are all dead :-( Any...

Hi I'm having a constant problem with fluke. I have pregnant ewes in 2 sheds - one is a steel shed, the other is a stone walled shed. Fields are constantly wet in the autumn/winter so i fluke every 4 weeks to try to keep on top of it. Fluked all the sheep before I brought them into the sheds...

Hi all Looking for some advice please. I have read until I am blue in the face the rules around sheep tagging but I can't find the answer to my question If for example, you have bought in some sheep and they have the previous owners full IED tags, if you then decide that actually you want to...
