Hi guys
I'm new to sheep farming, never been to agriculture collage etc but brought 14 acres of farm land with two big barns and frankly thought f@£k it!! I'm reading books, I'm looking at you tube, I've even gone as far as to stop when I see a farmer hahaha
I have 9 lambs right now that are on the bucket, there aged from 2 weeks up to 5...…. there all doing ok this far...… fingers crossed any way! 5 week olds are now eating and drinking water and I've moved them away from young still on the milk.
my question is when should I worm them? iv read lots of info and its all a little contradicting, and also when do they have there second hep b vac?
the farmer also had things like antibiotics in his room of things, how do you go about getting things like that?
also any breeds you would suggest for such a novice like my self?
cheers
