Parasitic PROBLEMS on the Farm: My SHEEP Health CRISIS

Welcome to Sheep School! 🐑 In this episode, we're diving into the nitty-gritty of farm life, as everyday with sheep truly is a school day. Join me as we tackle one of the most challenging aspects of sheep farming – dealing with parasites, and making some tough decisions about our beloved ewes.

🪱 Parasite Control: First, we'll take a deep dive into the world of sheep parasites. I'll walk you through the signs and symptoms of an infestation, and show you the essential steps we take to keep our flock healthy. Learn about the medications and strategies we use to protect our sheep from these pesky critters.

🐑 Ewe Selection: It's not always easy, but it's a necessary part of farming. Join us as we carefully evaluate our ewes, making the tough but important decision to retire some of our oldest members. We'll discuss the criteria we use to select which ewes will continue to contribute to our flock and we bid farewell to an incredibly productive and cherished ewe.
