[QUOTE="Jonny_2, post: 5909424, member: 39054"] Thank you very useful info! I am thinking I will bolus them once they’ve lambed as a safety net as well as a drench. Ours are 18 for Plasmall and a typical test should be 80-300. Hopefully they will pass some iodine onto lambs till weaning. Generally lambs have done well here, we have tested low in cobalt and copper so bolus accordingly (Copinox and Mayo micro cobalt boluses/Animax cobalt at weaning). We did have a big lamb die after squirting out greeny black scour for 2 days this summer but VI centre couldn’t find a reason it died. Will drench them regularly this summer and see if we do better! Bit of reading I’ve done suggested high sulphur in forage locks up iodine (kale is a high sulphur crop). We used fert with sulphur last year and have a poor grass growing year so wether high residual S has caused some lock up. [/QUOTE]
