Got some lambs with Lice (confirmed). Going to Crovect them at tick rate as they're all in full fleece.
Question is, do I need to part the wool to get at their skin or is along the wool sufficient?
Been a few threads fairly recently about dipping, this is me after a bit of advice..,
Would it be cost effective to have our own dip tank and the relevant courses / permits etc and then be able to do our own sheep ?
Few numbers:- 600 breeding ewes. Own replacements kept , and some (100 odd)...
