Iv 2 drums you can have I bought it then never used it. It can't have been too bad a year for them. I treat anything blown with crovect though. Easier for me though not so many to keep an eye on.

Dysect (Downland Zermasect) them. Bottle says 25ml for young lambs under 25kg but 20ml is plenty will give 12 weeks of cover (7 weeks - 49 day - withdrawal).
5l is similar price to Crovect and you get to tell Elanco to fvck off.
If you're getting it on yourself, complaining it's nasty stuff, you're doing something wrong.

Apply Clik once and it's done for the (16+ week) season generally. Crovect only lasts a few weeks down in the barmy south.
Handy to get ewes to shearing or lambs that will be going soon though.Apply Clik once and it's done for the (16+ week) season generally. Crovect only lasts a few weeks down in the barmy south.

Yes, that's the only thing I use it for. Still touch and go after 3 weeks though IME.
Iv never had a problem but do get it everywhere.

I didn't get 12 weeks out of it last year
still use it though as it's good for ticks.

The saving is more than worth the caution you need when using it rather than paying for liquid gold that is click extra !

I'd need to double check but 'officially' the 12 weeks will be for Ticks, blowfly 10 weeks.. although I go by the 12 weeks and reapply before it runs out (so 11ish weeks) and haven't had an issue with flies. Been using it for almost 20 years so feel I know the product pretty well
Definitely the best product on the market for ticks
Everyone’s circumstances are different but I would rather use click extra and be done with it. rather then messing around with struck lambs at harvest time when the sheep have to look after themselves for a few weeks.

How much are people paying for clik extra tarff £230 any good? Always think for a few quid more may aswell go for extra?
Down here with a lot of dry yearlings you wouldn’t want them well covered for fly strike. Everyone gets a few but it’s bad husbandry to just keep treating the struck ones.
Best I’ve seen online is £231,so I’d expect my local merchant to be less.
Think it was £218 last year.
A serious amount of minerals must have wash out the ground this year because I saw a deer licking a mag bucket today.
My lot seem to be going mad for rock salt at the moment.

A few folks have been saying they had a lot of empty sheep when I sled them if they bolused mineral dosed or put minerals out none of them did
I think the water has washed the grass out of minerals

Our sheep go mad for salt spread on the road same stuff in a way. Do you put minerals out as well?
They have the odd mag bucket thrown at them and that’s about all really other than what’s in their cake.
