    Lads, I've a few wether lambs not thriving at the moment, they're on great grass and have had pretty good conditions all things considered. They're blackies mostly born in april but are about half the size of their counterparts. Could anyone recommend a good bolus or a dose to give them a boost before sale. Something you've used previously and has given results.

    Thanks again.

    I find local boost great, get in the local pharmacy.
    Also cobalt every 2 weeks.

    Have these lambs been dipped yet.?

    Parasites on the fleece can drain lambs energy.
    Also have they all got correct dose?

    Did you do a faecal egg count.?

    All have been dipped and regularly wormed, most of the lambs are growing out of their skins but tis just this few runtss have me baffled. Didn't do the egg count but as I said they are well covered for worms.
