Dipping damp sheep

With this broken weather all the time I’m finding it hard to get bought in store lambs dipped. I need them gone asap to fodder crops away from the farm as grass is for the ewes now.

im thinking that if they are still damp from the day before raining but the day im dipping them and the next day are dry it’d be fine to dip as I’m only wanting to kill scab/ticks/Lice and not worried about blowfly control or the longevity of the product working. Am I badly wrong?

Dipped plenty of damp lambs, main thing is it doesn’t thrash it down for at least 12 hours post dipping. Not ideal but I was dipping yesterday and they all went back in the shed after draining.
