[QUOTE="Tim W, post: 5360408, member: 72"] My flocks are on 3 different farms this year --1 on the downs at 800ft so very little fly (although a couple of Charollais lambs managed to get struck earlier in the season) , next lot are on water meadows and i picked up a sick ewe (retaining some wool) that needed treating for strike earlier on. Next mob of 300 ewes are in parkland at Stourhead National Trust = lots of lakes & trees and plenty of flies ...150 of these animals had to be treated with Dysect in April for ticks No other fly preventatives have been used on ewes or lambs this season (yet) If i go away for a couple of weeks i will probably put a dab of something on lambs tail heads to keep flies at bay/make me feel better /reduce need for my stand in to catch lambs whilst i am away Other things i treat for ? Clostridial vaccine is the only routine Worms if FEC dictates in lambs ---breeding for worm resistance has made a noticeable difference here Individual treatments on a welfare basis for anything that needs doing [/QUOTE]
