I'm moving our ewes (and lambs at some point) into a rented field. It hasn't "officially" been grazed by sheep in eight years but some of the sheep in the next field used to come through before we fixed the fence 5 weeks ago. It's a six acre field and there would have been no more than a dozen lambs on it at any one time, probably over the last three months. It should, therefore, be reasonably worm free, yes?
I thought I woudl worm our sheep before I move them over but what's the timing? I know there's something about letting the wormer work for 24 hours. So should I worm the sheep and leave them on their current grazing for 24 hours OR worm and move immediately? Or something completely different?
Pigs are sooooo easy!
Thanks
