Shearing lambs still be covered with clik?

[hubbahubba]

I used clik extra on lambs early may. Just wondering after i shear ewe lambs tomorrow witlll they still be covered with clik? Only a few weeks prevention left and the season is drawing in but just curious. Does it stick to the wool or the skin?

It says on the can of clikzin that if you trim an area like the arse you have to reapply to that area.

sticks to the wool but if shoren the risk of fly should be lower

I clipped my ewe lambs just over a week ago. I’m going to get some vectocert on them this week. There is still plenty of the fly season ahead, so I’d rather be protected . But as mentioned click sticks to the wool, so your lambs will have no protection left !

Think i will leave thems for a couple weeks and see. They will be getting dipped in end of September anyway. Ectofly would likey be sufficient and not the price of click...?

found ectofly a poor product overall. The mist of it was so fine it gets on you and burns. Also had sheep struck after applying it.

You must have a serious fly problem............and a very expensive one.............. if you have given your lambs Clik Extra, then shorn them; followed by ectofly and then dipping !!


Once shorn, they should be fly free for a minimum of 3 weeks. Ectofly or similar should then hopefully last the rest of the season.

I presume the dipping is for scab prevention and not fly ??

I am maybe just being ott. Clik extra early may so can start getting lambs early june. First time ive ever full clipped them. Always dip everything once a year. Most these ewe lambs head away for winter so that have to be 100%.
