Found another couple of ewes struck over their shoulder/ back as a result of bad feet, and a couple more not struck but had them on their feet so treated in time. Getting cooler in the evenings and mornings here but still quite warm in the day. Sooner its too cold for the bloody flies the better!

Dont take this the wrong way but I'm flecking glad I found this thread and it's not just me!

Thought I must have been doing something wrong and the worst sheep owner in history (that could still be possible...)
Oy got 120 ewes and have just sorted 30 ewes with maggots in their feet, literally fine 3 days ago when we weaned lambs and now full of maggots, reckon it must have spread between them a bit when they brought in to be drafted out :( 🤬
