[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7471570, member: 348"] I leave the buckets out until the challenge is passed, which is all a bit weather dependant. If we get a dry Spring (like 202) we might not see an early challenge, but could see a hatch after a warm, wet week in June. As with treating with the drenches, if there was no challenge about then they won’t have developed an immunity and a late cocci explosion could be a disaster without treatment (by whichever method). I’d probably expect to get through (on average) 8-10 buckets on that number, but very weather dependant. I’d expect to have a lot of the buckets spare if we had a year with little challenge. I have every confidence in them, or I sure as hell wouldn’t use them. Having once picked up twenty dead 30kg+ lambs a day years ago, I have no intention of ever going through that again. We lost around 200 lambs from batch, having got them close to weaning weights.:( That was from moving one group from some rented horse fields to a handling system on a 60ac block that had intensive sheep on for decades for dipping in June. Those naive lambs were literally dropping like flies after a week. Back then the only treatment was daily sulphonamide injections for the whole mob, but many were already buggered. Never again, quite apart from the financial implications. [/QUOTE]
