Yes, I did herbal worming for years. I do believe 2 x year worming with Ivomec is essential or valbazon if your sheep ever are on the same pasture most of the...
Again, this is in regards to goats, but it may apply to sheep, as well (sometimes more information than you need is better than not having enough info.). Jody...
I believe what the vet had said is that it applies to breeding animals. I think that he mentioned females only but that was in one of our previous discussions...

Dalton is building their Dalton USA web site - which is on line - but the shopping cart is still under construction. The Mini-Tags can be ordered on line...
