Sheep

Check out your shearing options. It’s better to get this done before rain is a problem and to give the ewes time to grow a bit of fleece before winter hits.

Remove your ram if you haven’t already. If your ram has dropped condition while working and running with the ewes, consider giving him a drench and extra good feed. If pasture is limited or you no longer require his services, get rid of him.

Base any decision to drench sheep on faecal egg counts. Consult with your vet on the appropriate product to use. Check the Wormwise website for guidance:
