Gave mine a cosecure bolus this year 4 weeks out from lambing for the first time and they are looking well at the moment

Might be a different story when they start lambing, ewes looking very heavy

I used to drench them with cobalt and selenium close to lambing so i don't think it does them any harm

Done with cobalt at 6 weeks out and crystalx buckets with them since and feeding smyths ewe nuts.
