Buying / Selling sheep

[Jackov Altraids]

It is currently the middle of the breeding ewe and ram sale season.
The auctioneers usually announce any significant information before each lot, including medical treatments and withdrawal periods.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a simple piece of paper with this information on that could be handed to a purchaser?
None of us want extra paperwork but having this simple process in place voluntarily could prevent being forced to adopt really expensive electronic methods of doing the same thing.

Also....... why do sellers treat animals with a wormer immediately before selling?
It buggers up quarantine drenching for the buyers and will have no benefit to the seller.

The only quarantines I’ve heard in the marts is dectomax and ivermectin related which have 56/104 day withdrawals which obviously need to be stated.
When we sell breeding stock off the farm we say the dates they’ve had bolus’s, any wormers,flukes, footvax etc..

If an animal has just had any treatments done it could be best for them to tie a piece of paper to the front of the pens declaring what they’ve had if their under withdrawals.. not always practical mind?

We fill one in for all the gimmer and store sales at Junction 36, guess they do the same at Lancaster @Farmerbuti

Do the purchasers always get it or does it stay with the auctioneer unless it is asked for?

Not sure but I think the info is passed on

I brought some welsh mules from Welshpool and received envelope with luck money and list of all treatments the sheep had received in last 12 months and dates when carried out thought this was a really nice idea!

I either give buyers a piece of paper with treatments on and stress that they cannot use Fasinex ( the number of conversations iv'e had describing alternative treatment and saying NO that product has Triclabendazole in it the same as Fasinex )

Nothing can be transferred or transported down here without an ASD.

edit.. At market, the ASD or photocopies are held on a clipboard by each pen, and then when we (transport drivers) collect the pens up for delivery, we gather up the forms and deliver to the owner.
Thus the info is for all to see at any point in the journey, and is handed over or left with the stock at destination

I wish more vendors would state whether enzo and/or toxo jabs are going to be actually needed.

Came a real cropper once by being told a list of treatments ewe lambs had had (they'd been Heptavac P'd but needed a booster, and dosed with X and Y, but not Z) and thought (wrong, wrong, wrong!) the care taken to give information about their rearing and farming meant the flock was clean of enzo just like the one they were going into.

Can you explain, are you talking about Triclabendazole resistance.

Quite right
Most of the buggers cant write anyway so it all so well

Maybe because they have been vaccinated

my handwriting is bad, but I've seen much worse, god knows how the arams staff decipher it!

Of course it is... that's why I put it on "The Fairies Forum"

Honestly, some of the klootzaks on here do your industry no favours at all, Dave.
Quite pitiful.
Good to know there are plenty like yourself coming through!

 

[Henarar]

klootzaks
