[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 6773189, member: 17508"] Bugger, that was supposed to be a like! (I'll leave it so this convo doesn't look odd) 8-9 bottles on that number of ewes (and resulting lamb crop) will be low-average AB usage, I'd like to think! 600 ewes and their lambs, last year I used 2 bottles Pen&Strep at lambing, 1 bottle Betamox (bad outbreak of joint ill) and then 1 bottle of Alamycin for lame feet. So 4 bottles of AB's. I hope not to need the Alamycin or Betamox this year, but time will tell. Another +1 for Formalin. It alone has transformed my flock re. lameness. My footbath is only 12' long by 3' wide but works grand. Just let them run through it nice and steady. I've not used it for a few years, because of the wet weather pattern we are going through... I had reduced lameness down to 0 in the ewes for a handful years but I've currently got 1.5% with a sore foot. Intentions are to cull them all. [/QUOTE]
