If you look up a lady by the name of Leslie Perret on You Tube, she is a very experienced sheep keeper / breeder, there is a series of blogs she has made that give you all the correct info you will need before starting with your flock.There is also a lot of good advice given by members on your post.
Great advice from Fleecewife and others as usual Sadly this is no longer as sure as it once was. Some vets are now suggesting Zolvix as part of the annual on-farm worm programme, so although no resistance has yet been recorded, afaik, it will no longer necessarily be the case that any worms the sheep bring with them have never been exposed to Zolvix before. Read this article from March 2017 for more.
There ism now confirmed resistance to Zolvix in UK ---parasites only took 9 years to develop resistance to this new drug!(Mind you the kiwis managed it in 3 years ----)
