[QUOTE="Woolless, post: 5360320, member: 3403"] My Easycare ewes never get any fly preventative and fly strike on one of them would be a very unusual event. Any lambs in the running for retention in the flock/sale for breeding wouldn't get any either, as if they get struck I don't want them. Fly strike would be slightly more common in them but still nowhere near enough to warrant application of Clik or whatever. Usually a struck lamb has some underlying issue. They would all have long tails as well. Regarding the rest of the flock health plan, ewes are on the Heptavac-P system and are bolused twice a year for trace elements. Blood and forage tests have shown this is a requirement. No routine worming or footcare for the ewes. [/QUOTE]
