Drafting and Drenching

In the morning Karola and I re-drafted the sheep and drenched a few daggy ones before moving the ewes and ewe lambs to the Goose paddock and the ram and wethers to the Island paddock. This was quite an effort, there being 24 breeding ewes, 54 lambs, and Tigger the ram. Tigger, by the way, is much friendlier than Piglet was, is not at all stressed by having his head scratched.

Sheep drenched were (Zolvix – 7 days withholding for meat):
– Breeding ewes: #003, #717, #911
– Ewe Lambs: #157 and one “no tag”
– Wether lambs: #103, #110, #122, #140, #151, and two “no tags”
