    Has anyone any experience in this country?

    I can see pros and cons straight away.

    Clean dip on every animal. Fast no Labour,

    On the other hand does the dip penetrate to the skin? Is it effective enough for lice and ticks?

    Its a good job and works fine. But after the first time the sheep get clever and it is near impossible to run them through it again

    I have one. It's ok. Keep the fly away alright. You would have to run them through it three times to kill lice. The agent for them is modulamb in England. They are not very helpful with backup. If I had it to do again I think I would put a tub in the ground

    Yeah I looks fast. But at the end a the day i think submerging them in the dip is the best way

    Research that they have done in Australia and elsewhere reckons plunge dipping is the only way
