Fly strike 2022

[Grassman]

Just sheared our sheep today.
At the weekend all looked good. Yesterday noticed one ewe twitching but shearing today so could wait. Found one with bad strike and a few that would of really been bad in a couple of days. Clean sheep as well.
A bit of warmth and a few wet days really set the flies off.

All on the shoulders or above the tail on the sweat spots? That’s where 95% of my flystrike cases are with ewes. Had a lot of female lambs with small spots of maggots where the wee lands on the wool.
