I aimed to buy three wethers to keep for hogget that had already been wormed, vaccinated and de-loused. Fell short on all of that and now have to do it myself over the next two weeks.
After looking at all the options available I am no further forward with a decision on what to use and how to apply it while aiming to retain the maximum amount of cash in my bank account, so would appreciate some opinions.
Wethers are six months old welsh mountains ~25kg. A bit flighty but getting braver, especially where buckets are involved.
I think they had vaccs within a month of birth but nothing since (just checking with previous owner) Not vacc'd.
I keep no more than three sheep per year.
Same small paddock, 1/2 acre, used without rotation but 2-3 months since last animals.
Happy to give injections if DH can hang onto one but not sure that is the way to go for a first timer on possibly flighty sheep.
Any opinions?
