When blood tested the ewes originally came back with slight low iodine but was told to bolus still. Il search for some pics of Rams

What were the copper, cobalt and selenium results?

 

[will6910]

Other texel ram sold as had prob with his ball area and meatlinc was culled after tupping

 

[will6910]

I can't remember the numbers but vets says at time were spot on

 

[Razor8]

But that's the same vet who has given you ridiculous advice in the past

 

[will6910]

Yeah true. But surely if levels were normal they couldn't mess that up ? Could they ?

You'll only find if you get a copy. Did you ask them for it?

 

[bobajob]

Used cydectin month ago and before that was panacur

How long have you used it for Will? Could they be resistant to it?

 

[Razor8]

Have you checked weighing scales?

 

[will6910]

Never used either before till this year used the cydectin dose on ewes before tho

 

[will6910]

Yeah used lick buckets and bag stuff to check

 

[bobajob]

Its difficult to say from a distance looking on and there is no easy answer.

I think its just a mounting up of things-

your fields might be needing limed
there is a min vit defficiency
Wormer use.
the tups you have been using havent thrown the longest lambs etc.

Your fields/ stock do look a bit sheep sick, some cattle grazing could be a good idea.

 

[will6910]

Thanks. Can u please come here and suggest that to my father please. Even suggested that my friend could leave some cattle to me to test things for while in summer months but was s none starter as someone has knocked down my old cattle crush

 

[Nithsdale]

The advice given is good to sort out the lambs...

But this:

. Can u please come here and suggest that to my father please.

That is the real issue. Iv already told you what I think.

It doesn't matter what we all tell you, if he shoots you down/won't let you do what's needed then you will get nowhere

Your situation is p!ssing me off, and I'm just reading it on here
