Immediately
treat any fly strike when you see it. (Signs are flicking
tails, stamping feet, dark wet patches and when really bad,
the wool will be hanging off as well).
During the hotter months, fly strike can kill a sheep
in days, act quickly.
Your local vet will be able to advise and provide you
with the different options to kill maggots
Phone
and Book in the Sheep with Us, allowing for a 1-2 weeks wait
(usually), depending on the season & weather.
Oct to Dec always super busy when the wait is approx 2-4
weeks. When you
ring you will usually get our answer phone.
Please do leave a message; we will get back to
you!
Check
the conditions of your yards, pens & fences. Use the wait time to fix up those holes, replace missing
boards, repair the fences etc.
Bring
the sheep closer to the yard for ease of mustering when it’s
shearing time. This
way your job may possibly be done at short notice.
Buy
the products necessary, if you want to provide it.
e.g. Drench, docking rings, wool packs, ear tags, and
fly/lice control solutions.
