Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

@Ridgetop you do realize that both Cydectin and Zimectrin are in the same class of wormer.. so you basically wormed them with the same thing... sometimes the formulation is different, and sometimes a second drug may be added such as clorsulon(SP?) which is effective against liver flukes... You have to switch to Valbazen or Prohibit ... they are each a different class of wormer and will affect the sheep in a different manner.

Keeping a bottle lamb for taming down weaned lambs is a good idea. My bottle wether, Spot, Granny’s reject is the ugliest lamb I’ve ever raised. Pot belly, hatchet blade shoulders, skinny neck and big head, he looks like he was assembled out of leftover parts. But he loves me, runs to me when I call, and the ram lambs I weaned with him are calming down.
