my new sheep are in-lamb for april. is it wise to worm them now as they have just arrived or wait until they have lambed? i have oramec oral and panomec injections, but neither mention pregnancy in their smallprint.

I also wormed my three ewes with Cydectin before putting them to the ram at beginning of November - for April lambs? I do not know of any conflict between Cydectin and pregnancy (I try to avoid handling them during pregnancy to minimise any risk of miscarriage - although wormer drench is fairly easy to give).).
