[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 8169584, member: 17508"] Dysect for lambs. End of discussion. 12 week guaranteed cover (7 week withdrawal). The bottle doesn't give guidelines for spraying young lambs for ticks but I phoned them and their own vet said it is fine to use on lambs over 10kgs with 25ml. I wait until youngest lambs are a week old, then do the whole lot with 20ml - 5litre bottle does 250 lambs and is about £65. Been doing it 10+ years and never had an issue - used to lose lambs to fever and the ewes on the hill were always covered in ticks at shearing... very rarely see a tick on them at shearing now (when the lambs get a repeat spray to do the rest of the summer). Crovect is a faff as it wants 2 applications a few weeks apart and only lasts up to 8 weeks. Haven't tried any other products. I rubber band all my lambs at birth. The singles get gathered into the mobile yard, I'm not doing any other jobs to them so it's a very quick spray in the pen then they're let onto the hill and left alone til shearing. [/QUOTE]
