How do you inject sheep with cydectin?

We and most other farmers around here use Cydectin injection as a tool to control scab. The worming aspect is very handy but definitely secondary to scab control.

We inject all our breeding stock in the autumn and sometimes again pre-housing/lambing if they have been in contact with scab infested sheep. We then dose the lambs with white drench in mid may and again with a different product at weaning. Perhaps we should use Zolvix at weaning?
sounds like i should be visiting with the lorry for a couple of weeks every autumn:rolleyes::D
