    I have it written down but not in Excel format. I’ve been meaning to do it and will share here when I do.

    Unfortunately nature knows nothing about a calender,
    For instance the old recommendation was dose lambs at 5, 9, and 13 weeks of age but if you dosed at 5wks this year you'd have wasted a dose because it was too cold for the worms to hatch. That dosing schedule would be better than nothing but with the problem of doses becoming useless on some farms you need to be regularily testing which doses work on your farm....every farm is different.
    Other jobs at the moment is shearing and blowfly protection for the lambs from the end of May
