[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 8136051, member: 17508"] That time of year again... Cocci and Nemo dosing! Normally put the hill twins away to the summer parks, but they are a much larger group this year - so the Texel twin lambs are up there instead. I've been watching the lambs like a hawk this past week as SCOPS Nemo watch isn't good viewing... was expecting to have to make a start on dosing next week, but this morning 2-3 in the Texel group have quite mucky bums... so I hauled the yard away up this afternoon and gave them their Cocci and Nemo doses. Some ewes aren't great - slot of older ladies are thin and there seems to be quite a few have gotten lame. Did the obvious feet I spotted as they were in the race but no doubt I've missed a few... grass is there but lack of heat is holding everything back (I'm still in winter gear doing checks in the mornings, we are a good 5°c below the average for May so far!) but the lambs are looking very good. Can't see me shearing ewes as early as previous years... About 130ish ewes with 250ish lambs, split them into 2 groups to fetch in and dose - as in past years it's been too many for the dogs and me to keep under control) but the way the first group ran straight in with no drama (and the fact it was actually about 2/3 of the whole mob and not half 🙄🤣) I should've just gathered them all. [ATTACH=full]1035814[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1035817[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1035819[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1035822[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1035823[/ATTACH] They seem a very even bunch of lambs - age and size, so I'm hoping the 1 dose for Cocci will keep them all going fine. Glad they're done as it's the one mob I usually stress about doing [/QUOTE]
