Sheep wormer
Posted: Friday 18 September, 2009
Until now, I've used a herbal wormer for the sheep. However, since a couple have dirty bums and I want to dose them for liver fluke anyway, I've decided to use a combination wormer and flukicide. But which to use? So many decisions!
After reading the data sheets on NOAH, I decided to run it past our vet, who has been really helpful with advice. In the end, I've decided to use Fasimec Duo S, which seems to kill all known germs dead.
I want to make sure that the ewes are in tip top condition for tupping this year, so I want to get a bit of weight of them (particularly Juno; actually, only Juno) and then flush them.
But first the worming and the dagging - I bought a pair of dagging shears today. I so love shopping at the agricultural merchants. Scissors are no good for the job and it's first on the list for Saturday morning, along with foot trimming.
If we have time, I'll put a halter on Bud. He's developed a taste for Polo mints, so I might be able to bribe him to co-operate. Might be worth a video, though.
