Dipping ewes

[Bullbeeef]

Want to get my ewes dipped this year, would it hurt dipping them a week before the ram goes in?

We pen the tups in a group as we dip the ewes, picking who goes with who as we dip.
Tups have usually served 2-3 ewes in the chute or draining pen as each batch is dipped.
So crack on.

If they need dipping then it will have more effect on tupping if you don't do them.

No it is perfectly fine I dip all mine 3 weeks after tups have been in
