Ah yes watched in too so he dips the sheep for scab lice/mites where’s drenching I’d for internal parasites. Although you can use an injectable for scan that acts as a wormer too
Cami is doing very little to no drenching like yourself - testing for worm load - testing for worm load is so much cheaper than just drenching on a schedule which is causing resistance as you know - Kiwi Farmer (youtuber) a beef and sheep farmer here in NZ has his own testing kit for worms at home and went through in a vlog on how to do this - 20 years ago NZ farmers culled hard the sheep that needed worming - you have to look at the rams closely as well as they might just be passing on that weak gene for worm loads @@CowleyHillFarm
We’re the same We worm our calves 2yr olds get one prior to joining then prior to calving All dairy cows get their tails clipped & anything with messy backside gets drenched. This was 3% of the herd this year
I love your farming ethics Will, especially not raming the wormer down the sheeps throats which you see sadly quite alot of..Great video as always and full of knowledge..🐑
I would like to thank you for your imformative videos. I have never had pink eye in my flock till this week. Watched your video prior and knew what it was. So showing the "bad" things that happen and how to handle them does help. Thanks once again.
I am fortunate that my hair sheep (American Blackbelly (barbados) sheep don't need worming, vaccinating, nothing other than pasture and some hay in the dry season. Plus no shearing lol.
I had southdown sheep when I was in high school FFA years ago. for my farm now, I didn't want sheep that had to be shorn. So here in the northern California valley we have lots of Dorpers and the Blackbellies which are hair sheep. The blackbellies are super easy to maintain and they are primarily used for fire prevention although people do eat them. Plus they are darn cool to look at. @@CowleyHillFarm
Team work makea the dream work ty sky
Will you should put a GoPro on Josie so we can see her herding from her POV! I think that would be so cool! She's such an amazingly good girl!
One day I will definitely do that!!
Looking forward to seeing it! @@CowleyHillFarm
I watched Cami this morning (early NZ Time) and he was diping sheep instead of drenching and having the same conversation about worm resistance
