Thank you.
We don't know what the worms were. A couple of them were scouring. We wondered if it was just the autumn grass but wormed them (Levacide 7.5% ) and they cleared up so 'assumed' it was worms.

Or ... you could not bother to worm them at all, and just do another FEC at lambing or just after, as that would show you what worm species, if any, you are dealing with.

After lambing. You could give a splash of apple cider vinegar in their water to prevent worms ...or kill them off!
