I would argue it is no longer a product as it’s now waste as I have finished dipping with it

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

Can’t you just put all waste dip at end of the day onto the dipped sheep same as spray washings into a crop then no waste

Just walk up and scan them

If trees where made into charcoal then spread on the land then carbon could be locked away in soils while adding in a soil conditioner possibly and reverting it back to agricultural use much like Amazonian slash and burn policy. I understand charcoal is quite stable in soil and is good for soil...
