    I have a group of weather lambs that I'll be selling in the mart in January. Two of them have very dirty back ends. Too late to dose because of the withdrawal period. Would ye lads bother clipping them? Any tips on the easiest method? I only have a hand clippers...

    Sharpen them ;)
    The foot shears has been used here in emergency cases but it's hard to beat a sharp pair of daggin shears

    Reading an article the other day. Because of mild weather worm burdens are still about and doing damage as people wouldn't expect to have them at this time of year. As eire says a short withdrawal product will dry them up, they might put on an extra kg as well.
