    Awesome to hear what you've saved by not over-drenching with the Dosing Gun! Will make a big difference in the long run 👍

    Frankly speaking, your farm is a training institute. So much hands-on practical work. Your beautiful wife is working hard too.

    Another great video.
    Yes, sheep can be a handful at times, and man, they can push you to where some awesome words come out at times.
    Myself I'm just dry stock. I have a few sheep for the freezer, tho.

    A really great time of year with much more settled weather and pleasant working conditions. Crikey, that drench is expensive, but I guess if it does the trick and gives good results then it will pay dividends later.

    a blood test on those Angus calfs that are a coppery colour - normally it is copper defiency but a blood test will confirm that by just testing a couple and that will tell you - low copper causes slow growth rates

    With the mix in the dwg with calves, could that be down to the bull?, any way of checking the sire other than DNA test?

    How does the drench gun know the weight, is it connected to the scales?

    Liquid gold is right. Heavens above. I can’t imagine fly strike is genetically based, but then I don’t have the data. But my mind says, how on earth? Sounds interesting.

    • @phil6465
      @phil6465 День назад +1

      That’s how natural selection works. In the wild any animal that would be more susceptible to fly strike would die, leaving the more resilient ones.
