Tolracol and Baycox are a different drug. They have a 6 week residual persistence (continuing to kill Cocci ingested by the animal, post dosing). Vecoxan is like a normal wormer (but obviously for Cocci) - it kills what is in the lamb/calf at time of dosing and offers no residual protection...

Been using Vecoxan (and it's generic versions) for 20+ years. Timing is very important, but 1 dose is all that's required - IF it's done at the right time. Due to the nature of things a mob of lambs can have a spread of 4 weeks age wise meaning when the oldest lambs need done it is often too...

This advice is wrong! https://www.noahcompendium.co.uk/?id=-478824 Amounts to be administered and administration route To ensure the correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible. Lambs: Therapeutic use: 1 mg diclazuril per kg bodyweight or 1 ml Vecoxan oral...

NEIL MCCLEARY After some sixty years, Neil has decided to move on from Longtown Mart giving a younger generation the freedom to drive forward the ever-expanding business. His contribution has been tremendous and we thank him for all his work in establishing Longtown as the country`s premier...

Keltec do one too which works the other way (shear plate goes up instead of coming down on the Tanco)... depends what you're doing as to which will suit best

It'd take more than an obese Chinese Racoon to do me in!.. 😏 I'm doing grand, thanks for the concern folks. I just don't come on here as often as I had been and this thread moves too fast to keep up if you're not on regular Lambing is finished. March was wet but mostly OK and I think...

This is why the Jews are so actively against kill method labeling on meat. Halal has no issues with stunning but Kosher must not be stunned. As you say, devout Jews do not eat the hind quarters of an animal therefore those cuts are slipped into the wider supply chains for people to buy/consume...

Isn't it a sad state when we're talking of needing these guardian dogs in the UK when we haven't needed them for hundreds of years - if ever?! I wonder in another 300 years they'll be killing all the bears and wolves here because people are calling for the sheep that used to manage the...

I'm not prejudice - that's in your own head. And that is an accusation you've made before, and I've stated my position clearly. You reacted "sad" to my photo of blanket Spruce which is going in. But typically you're ignoring the post afterwards where I talked about the existing trees in the...

You'd be better putting your farm under Spruce pal. I've heard it'll pay you well 😂

You are confirming what @Hilly and I have said, despite how you perceived it 1 crop of trees reaching a, before costs, value of the land it's planted on is a poor return. That's generating the value of the land over 40+ years!! Cattle or sheep would do that in 15 years, push that to 20 in bad...

There is money in wood... but it's a bit like farming - producer (land owner) is left with pennies once everyone else takes their cut for felling, hauling, milling and selling the product. Nevermind the costs of making roads and changes to other infrastructure that quite often needs to get done...

I know, I was being slightly tongue in cheek. It's a shame these PC days you can't have a bounty on grey squirrels like they used to. The youn'uns could make good pocket money culling the little buggers

I thought the biggest challenge for a tree in England was HS2

Only about 10% of Kielder is Norway.

England and Wales need to take up the slack then - Scotland is just under 20% tree cover

The problem there is our wood is shyte. They used to fell Spruce and Larch at 60+ years once mature... Now it's 25-30 years to make trees more 'viable'. Eurasian Larch was deemed too slow growing so it was abandoned, in favour of Japanese Larch... which was significantly more susceptible to...

Look that picture there's lots of blocks/strips - all the crap had been planted leaving the productive land. I've no issue with shelter blocks/strips and think many owner/occupied farms could do a lot more - as you say it would be an easy win-win. But I have a real problem with blanket planting...
