    +1 here. Family are giving out to me over the state on lambs. They were spotless clean all season. Then weaned a few weeks ago. Dosed and cobalted a few days later and put them in lush grass with buckets in field. Even though their thriving and on best grass on farm , it's running out them, very loose. Frustrating really,

    Know it's a lot of work but would you consider giving them a dip to wash them.
