For anyone who's wondering what's going on with the maggots, maggots need, warm, damp, covered/protected, dirty conditions to grow. A sheep with dirt on them, in any months that can be warm and wet at the same time (basically late April-September) are the ideal environment. There's wool to hide in and grip onto, it's warm and moist close to the skin, and there's plenty of filth and flesh for them to much on. The best way (other than repellents) to keep them down is to keep the wool short in dirty zones via a Sani Shave (shearing of the sanitary areas like behind and genitals), because the shorter the wool, the less there is to grip, the less trapped heat and moisture for a healthy environment, and a lack of heavy rotting bacteria from feces building up in the wool. You're basically making it uninhabitable for flies and maggots by knocking down the house.
That's an absolutely spot on explanation. Fair play to you and thanks. Feel free to comment on all my furure videos explaining sfuff👍👍 glyn
Lord bless these sheep
Another great video
Thanks
Would you not consider building a dipping tank, dip twice a year, spring/summer, autumn/winter
We have an indoor tank, tbh we stopped two years ago, we still got maggots after dipping. We usually use click and a pour on. But just got hit hard the last week
Just found your channel. I think it is one of the best on RUclips. We are part-time beef farmers in Clare still working on the first million. Well done and best wishes for the future 👍👍👍🐑🐑🐑🐑🐕🐕🐕.
Thanks. We are trying our best. Up the banner
Them poor lambs i feel so bad for them! 😢😢😢 i know it not your failt but still really sucks! On a side note i think its so funny how your dad rides the quad! Lol he just half way sits on it! Lol thanks for sharing hun and ill be hoping them poor animals get better soon!! 😘😘
Thank u.. they are all recovering well. They will be just fine. Ya the maggots are some fckers. We can only try our best here. Thanks for the comment
💜🙏. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome
Great video Glyn aye maggots are a hatful problem hopefully you got it on time them lambs your selling were in fine order 👌
Ya all ewes doing well now and are thriving again, there horrible fckers is right, Ya we got on good with the lambs
your dad and you are great farmers. and there should be a market for sheep s wool, couldnt that be sent out to third world countrys. for poor people for
those countrys. sheep farmers work hard so they should be factory build in ireland to make woolie jumpers and woolies coats out sheep farmers wool.
and wountnt that cycling sheep wool.
Oh wow I couldn’t do your job getting rid of maggots I literally heaved & threw up & had skip the next bits of you showing them I have such a week stomach, I’m so glad you help them the poor thing I couldn’t imagine having something eating you alive, thank you for another interesting video 😊
Ya someone has to do it, it's farm life, you need to be able for all kind of things,thanks for the comment
@@sheepshepherd i suppose you have got used to it, you & your dad work so hard , thank you for sharing it all with us, the good the bad the ugly I find it so interesting 😘
@@mj3026the joys of farmlife , come across nature as its very best and worst
@Mike-fq9pi that's for sure.. it ain't easy
@@sheepshepherd sure if it was everyone would be at it😆
I was in Australia on holiday a few years ago and my brother inlaw took me out the country to visit a farmer he knew. We chatted about all things farming as I do, and I asked him if he kept any sheep . He said he used to keep 15,000, but he was getting out of them and only had 1000 left. MAGGOT TAXIES he called them. Very funny.
Ya it's a tough business I'll be honest, tough to make a living and a lot of hardship. We are not getting enough money for our lambs that's for sure anyway. I lives in Sydney, i miss Australia big time
@@sheepshepherd I agree, not half enough for your lambs. At least on my land in Co. Meath I changed to all beef, much easier but no money in it either. Where I visited was Western Australia and they only got? .7 of a lamb per ewe so it was useless .
@@gerryoconnor8751 fuk that was shocking🙈 no money in that
I used Click earlier in the season followed by Crovect later in the season for the shorter withdrawal period. Important to apply the products from the back of the head down. I rarely had strike on this regime but ewes that urine stained their back ends were a problem. You have some really bad fly strike. Not sure the spraying is loading the fleeces the way a spray race would.
That's a good idea in fairness.we used click earlier in the year . I'll be using it again👍
Those maggots are horrible bas***ds and the weather for the last couple weeks has been ideal conditions for them Hopefully you have them sorted out now Glyn
Hope you got a good price for the lambs with the price of lamb in the shops its time the factories paid the farmers a decent price after all you're the ones doing all the hard work and theirs nothing easy in sheep farming
Enjoyed the video Glyn looking forward to the next one
You said it, we do all the hard work, nothing straight forward with sheep, the farmers don't get half enough, thanks for the comment again👍
@@sheepshepherd 👍
Probably a stupid question, but wouldn’t hair sheep fair better, especially since wool is pretty much a cost and not a valuable product?
Sorry don't understand you. Would they be better with wool? There gonna get flystrike regardless if not treated right. Wool or no wool
Great channel, keep up the good work. we used to travel from wexford to go around Kerry and west cork in the 1990s with my dad in a lorry collecting for either hacketstown or camolin sheep factory, some of the places he went were challenging with a four deck trailer, and no mobile phone for directions, great memories and met some great people. pitty we didn’t have pictures of that time. We Used to be delighted to get back to Kilgarvan from cahersiveen or castletownbere pinusila meant you were homeward bound after a lot of collections to gather 500 lambs.
That's a fair spin.. fair play to ye. There is alot of places still here with no coverage. Wexford is a beautiful county.
Was is fat lambs or all kind of lambs ye were after
We were collecting for a factory agent dan joe from above mill street, mostly factory lambs but weed have a few pens of store lambs to be dropped off on the way home too.
On the journey down
We used to drop pigs in Denny’s in Tralee that came all the way from wexford,
washing out the lorry clean enough for the sheep after the pigs was some craic.
and then off like a post man to collect up the load. A lot of the collections were done in the dark, you’d be quare tired when you’d get home. great memories all the same
@peterbreen5225 that was fair work, I know Dan Joe keeffe, he is still buying lambs. Thanks for the comment. Keep them coming
Hi Glen, the look on your dad's face when you were kidding him about slipping and needing to bring in help was priceless.
So sorry about the Maggots as it is one more problem to deal with. Can the Maggots transfer from one lamb to the next? Hope that spray works to kill them.
Nice bright spot that you were able to sell some more sheep at at decent price. That is a nice reward for all of you and your dad's work.
No I don't think they can transfer tbh, that's more if a sheep has scab or mange or foot rot. Then this could be transferred all right. The problems keep on coming🙈
Haven't seen a year like this for maggots for a while been chasing the little bastards for the last couple o days 🙈
Ya it's been tough going. We never had a worse year like it
Had you the sheep dipped? I thought the dip prevented them from getting maggots for a few months? great video, fine lambs.
The dip lasts only a weeks, it's gone very weak now so not that good anymore, we use click , no we stopped dipping 2 years ago
The neighbour's sheep got maggots in early June and got them clipped and dipped. The wee b*****ds came back in mid July in the short fleece. Had to get them dipped again. Was told due to the amount of rain the dip was washed out of them and didn't last long enough. Probably the same as the click and you wouldn't have soaked them as well as the dip tank.
That's exactly it, how could anything last in this wet weather, it would sicken ya, but ya you're spot on Keith
Would iodine be a better treatment than the blue spray for the first treatment for maggots? With injuries on cattle i was told that blue spray sealed all infection in and wouldn't heal as well. But iodine kills infection and let's it out. Then apply the spot on!
Maybe so Keith, the blue spray is very good I think, Provides skin and wound protection and supports natural skin regeneration, but will check that out. Thanks for the comment 👍
Excellent yet again
Thanks again!
Enjoyed
What price per head for the best of those lambs to wexford
We can't be telling everything on here 😅 we got on good anyway👍
A fine flock of sheep
Thanks a lot. They are not too bad at all. Cheers for the comment
Loving the dyed hair😅
Don't we all😂
11:16 were these the sheep you treated with watered down click extra?
I have watched a few who have uaed the click extra which is the treatment that is supposed to stop the maggots growing mouth parts? I really dont know if the treatment works because if you used that on these sheep you are the 3rd of 3 Shepard's ive watched use the peoduct who ended up with fly strike within the time that the treatment window is supposed to last for. If youre gonna use again i would use less product and not water it down if you want it to be there shorter time.
Good idea
Cheers👍
you should have given the old buck a rub of the shears while you were at it🤣🤣😂👍
😂 always next time and maybe a dip😂
You would have a job shearing a Ould PUCK GOAT like him 🤣@@sheepshepherd 🤣he is some man for 60 all the same
@@williecosgrove 74 he is, Ya some hardy man
We dip all the ewes middle of August gets us through till middle end of September cant beat they do much better cheaper than click by miles click the lambs at marking we then dip again in October before tupping
Ya tbf that's the right job, we might look into the dipping for next week😅 what dip do you use
@@sheepshepherd just golden fleece only op you can get over here dipped 1850 ewes middle of August did 700 myself the one day slept well that night ill tell you 🤣, but definitely worth it for peace of mind but if we have a warm muggy September I'll have to be on guard but most are up at about 2000ft so should be alright will be cold enough at night by then
@thomasevans5491 fair play to you. That is impressive. Well done
What's the blue spray you use I definitely must get it
Anmadezon blue spray ya it's very good👍👍
how did the lambs kill out?
21.4 average across the board👍 not too bad. They would have been on meal
Would a plunge dip not be better than spreading it on?
Ya i did it two days ago actually. Great success, I'll put up a video next week
POLITICANS NEED WAKE UP AND RECLLING SHEEP WOOL. AND THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. and he couldnt farmers get a grant to reclying sheep wool.
Jez hate maggots lucky you got the ones on neck probably ate the infection out of wound. Feel sorry for poor sheep
Exactly they did 😅 they would also feed on the footrot I'm a sheep's foot. One good thing they do.
But ya horrific creatures. Thanks for the comment
Those lambs looked good its amazing how a bit of meal really gets them fleshed up .Hope they killed good for you
Ya feeding them makes some difference in fairness,
Ya they did really well 👍 thanks for the comment
Fair play I going useing my kids bags😂😂😂
😂😂👍👍that's the job. You won't look back
Do u not dip your sheep. That back sprayer is useless.
No stopped two years ago cause we were getting maggots a few weeks after, so we use click extra and s pour on. Just got hit hard the last week
Comment for the algorithm to help the 👍👍👍.
Thanks for that!👍👍
You should fench along that road
Very true, I badly need to do it 👍
It will cost a nice bit. Are you willing to help😅🙈
Buy a post driver first great job
Does the blue spray kill the magots!?
It was more for disinfectant it, but ya coldness of it would kill them. Also put dip around there so should be fine.
Good poor souls don't deserve the m agots on them! !
Did the one with the cut near her neck live
Ya Shane she is nearly good as new again. Around the house here so we are keeping an eye on her

👍
Jesus lads you guys have to start using click them poor ewe are very stressed,that’s an awful infestation 👍
Ya we clicked them earlier in the year, just got a bad run of them the last week. Ideal conditions for them
Its been a bad year for them ive struggled even after crovect still got strikes and only got 25 to deal with and a few acres
@martinknight510 well said. We all doing our part but you will always get casses, we 800 ewes and 1200 lambs to look after 🙈😅
Also got a big texal boy with a bad foot whos broke my back trying to turn 🤣🤣🤣the joys eh should of just got some cats
@@martinknight510 😅😅😅
Dog bite i say ewe got say must get chased you should have not used click or clickzen
😅 click extra is very tbf. I'll be using that next year. Or maybe shear later on on the year
@@sheepshepherd was always told never put dip into a open wound as it gets into blood and could poison them. they feckers always seem to more damage as the year goes on
@raymondwarrington9950 ya thats 100% correct. We try to put it around the wound if possible but small diluted bit won't do them any harm. 👍 there horrible fckers
P r o m o S M
👍 thanks for the comment. What do you mean?
nasty!
Ya very nasty indeed 🙈
