Title: A good mornings work
Post by: Bionic on May 01, 2013, 02:08:46 pm

Dagged the ewes, trimmed their feet, gave Vexocan to the twins and sprayed them all with Dyna-mite.
Phew, my back hurts now though.
One of the ewes had been turned over by OH whilst I did her feet when a chicken came up and started picking at her feet and taking all the bits of vegitation out. Now if only they could enjoy the daggy bits too I would have my job done for me  :roflanim:

Vexocan is for coccidiosis. It isn't specifically for twins but my twins were of the age today where they got their dose. The older ram lamb has already had his and the younger one will wait another couple of weeks before his dose.
