Bought a few ewes to Tup early, all abit last minute. Will probably put the Tup in next week and was just thinking of giving the ewes a combi drench. Any harm in doing them this close to tupping?
 
Excuse my ignorance but we don't have a fluke problem and don't routinely treat any sheep for it. I thought September was a good time to treat for fluke if it were an issue. The reason I ask is that we've taken on a block of land a few miles away and it's very different land to ours. It can flood and is wet all year round. We're keeping running ewe lambs/ theaves there at the moment. I'm keen not to bring fluke onto our farm so want to make sure I treat them before they come back home end September early October. What product would you recommend?
