Wire cutters for stuck in fence heads, purple spray ( depends how long they were stuck) . foot trimming kit, yellow rockies lick .
Room in your freezer.

Thermometer so you can tell the vet if they have a temp at any time.
We use red rockie licks (with copper) but you can't use these if sheep have access to them as its toxic to the woolly ones.
Spray for any wounds (esp if you need it when foot trimming)
We also add seaweed and mineral supplement to their feed (but ours are milkers) how old are your 2 new additions?

They are about 14 weeks old and called Sydney & Melbourne and getting friendlier by the day, they seem as nosey as the chucks as every time you turn around they are both there right behind you.
 
I am trying to reduce the size of my photos so i can post them for scrutiny
 
Cheers

My toggs are on Argo, among other things. they also get Brinicombe minerals, but one milker in particular went crazy for the red rocky, reminds me, must get another one, she ate the last one.
