[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7404667, member: 63856"] " A few good frosts gets them itchin' " Temperature has a lot to do with how lice affect the sheep, as it cools down they start to "dig in" and they begin to bite. Nearly every lamb I've caught breaking in here has had lice, but if you didn't have them over your shoulder you would never know they were lousy. They do just fine.... and then the next week they're pulling their wool out and rubbing on everything Between lice and flystrike it sealed the fate of "keeping sheep" on Leeside, far more benefits for us to occasionally run a flying mob and possibly mix our ragamuffins in with them for exposure. That's why we mix things up so much; have seperate sheep + cows, have sheep+cows together, have cows + grazing cattle together, have grazing cows and sheep together. Change/avoiding monotony is really important, again Dick Richardson is all over that where many regen gurus are really just trying to pass on a good recipe. Recipe = problematic Flexibility = dynamic [/QUOTE]
