[QUOTE="Tim W, post: 7972530, member: 72"] It's a bugger , that's for sure ---give me a bell? I can commiserate & share depressing stories 🥃 We have the little sods on a block of land with triple anthelmintic resistance & the only thing i can use to sort them is a new generation wormer or a Cydectin drench I haven't tried the flukicides yet but it's in the plan for this year [USER=699]@Frank-the-Wool[/USER] I do FEC on a 7 to 10 day interval in peak season and find the ewes can go from 100epg to 2500 epg in a few days ---one day they are bouncing and 3 days later are sluggish It really messes the lambs up if they get hit as youngsters Key things i have learnt so far are; [LIST] [*]Watch the flock closely---they deteriorate fast [*]You can treat ewes on an individual basis by looking for signs of anaemia [*]If the lambs get hit they will take ages to recover [*]I think that once you have them they will be difficult to get rid of ---it's more a matter of managing the problem [/LIST] Good luck!
