    Is there certain salt licks for sheep or are the cattle ones ok for them. It just for lambs to help dry orf when it starts as I haven't used scabivax for 3 years and have noticed that the out breaks are not as bad each year. How much do they costs per bucket or block?

    I put them into an empty bucket, but I put a hole in it to stop it filling with water.
