Well, know very little about horses but sure I read somewhere that you could scoop the poop to keep worm nos. down on paddocks. Or have I got that wrong  ??? .


Not that different to be concerned about your sheep I guess. Scooping dog poop is enough for me though.

Aw, gorgeous pictures xxx
Not ideal attire for lambing though.
Really, this started out as a serious thread!
Honestly thought it made sense to clear up the field for my ewes and their new lambs.

All joking aside if you have worm issues just worm and if you don't have another field to give them freshness and you want to split the paddock to reduce worm burdens then use a temporary or electric fence and swap them from side to side

I suppose if you do pooper scoop, you can always keep it to spread back on after you have moved the lambs away?
We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.

Or dry it for the fire, burn it on its own or with wood only, then spread the ash back on the field!
