I have a ewe who gets this every year after shearing however her wool does not shed, just scabby bare skin and the hair off her face. 3 days of penicillin and blue spray on the sores sorts her out. I also mineraled her, too, just in case.
Third this, scabby ears and even some mucky bums which if you’ve got a fec is another tell tale sign. B12 deficient due to lack of cobalt in the diet. Drenching will only cover around 2 weeks mind, bolus is much better for the winter and spring
Ah my glasses have that too. Good for your eyes. Annoying for filming 🙈 if anything makes me jump properly into contacts, it’ll be the film aspect of my life lol.
Is there any St Johns Wort where the ewe lambs are grazing? That can cause some strange reactions like blistering and fleece loss, that's what I suspected with a couple of mine
Thank you for a year of interesting videos. Hope you enjoyed Christmas. Happy New Year to the whole family. ❤😊
Liked the "dancers" on the roof while you were loading muck.
Looked like a cool Christmas sweater. 🎅
Enjoyed

I'd say Its a cobalt deficiency - scabby ears and losing wool but you are getting it at early stage because they are still in good condition.
Cobalt deficiency was my thought as well

What about using a lick tub?
Thought this also. The sheep school did a video on his sheep with cobalt deficiency and I know other farmers have suffered with it too.
Great video, look forward to more next year❤

Improving your videos fer sure
Do sheep get affected by different endofites on the grass? Can happen when you move to new ground? I like the look of those cross’s 👌👌

Sheep school youtube had similar probs with scabby ears, have you considered bolus`???
I think we may be looking into it for next year
I had the same thought myself….❤️🐑
Sheep scab not just sheep to sheep 100 ways it can spread. Suffolk are hard work. I'd look at the easycare wool shedding
I’m aware it’s not sheep to sheep can be from wool on a piece of wire or anything but they’ve never been anywhere near anywhere
