[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 7990617, member: 70166"] I don't know how sustainable sheep only systems will be without new classes of wormer coming in which might never happen :confused: a bit like continuous wheat and black grass that arable farmers moan about all the time when the sprays stop working. They are always told that proper old fashioned mixed farming is the way to deal with it it will be the same with sheep. Cattle will help break the worm life cycles as would a crop of something to get some clean grazing after it. Getting rid of lambs earlier even if its as stores will help as well adult sheep can handle worms a lot better while lambs and hoggs will be shitting out eggs all the time. I've put some red clover in last year to try and get a lamb finishing crop and get lambs away earlier it should help with the worm burden across the whole farm if it works as well as it should. If I get rid of all.my lambs before November December as well it would free up a shed that has hoggs in it now to winter some sheep, probably replacement ewe lambs or maybe shearlings in too. That would help with less worm eggs being shed over winter. And start using some more worm resistant genetics in the rams. I'm rambling now 🤪 [/QUOTE]
