[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 4431200, member: 17508"] Lambs are not dosed 3-4 times before 10 weeks. I said they are dosed 3-4 times in their life... one batch will be dosed 2 times before 10 weeks (Nemo and cocci), the rest once. Thereafter lambs are being sold and numbers reducing making subsequent dosing jobs smaller. My inbye ewes are sorted out post weaning, in a long race I just walk up them, then draw off the casts. No fighting, very easy and stress free - certainly no physical exertion (other than climbing a railed fence repeatedly - all I need is an access gate put in). Hill ewes are gathered to an away set of pens. To save extra gathers, I do all the job on 1 day... You say you do everything, what's everything? I mean, how many times are you talking you work with your ewes? If your in an area with serious fluke or worm issues and your dosing everything every month then yeah fine crack on it'll be worth it... but not for me to dose ewes twice a year, and lambs twice, maybe 3 times (some of which again is conceded can't really be done through a clamp anyway due to too young/small). As my previous post - I'm not saying they are rubbish or won't work or whatever. I'm not knocking the Combi Clamp at all. I just struggle in my own head to justify one... [/QUOTE]
