Thanks Val - very timely, though clear as mud what I ought to do. I'm sure the vet will be very keen to sit down and develop an individual program with me for my 14 sheep. Not !! I did treat for fluke in June and was told to treat gain in October, so I might just bring that forward a bit. The article contradicts the leaflet I picked up in the vet (as does the vets recommendations!!) which says recent weather paterns have produced low fluke conditions and that treatment should be evidence based to prevent resistance (like worming). Maybe it was true before the wettest summer? Preventative medication of sheep, I hate the subjectivity of it! Autumn goal is to understand the Soil Association organic guidance (not that I am, but am hoping that is guidance on what is the absolute 'must do' medication and what is the stuff that has leached to smallholding sheep care from commercial farming systems. Anyone on here organinc - what do you do re fluke?
