    where can I source the drenches and liquid minerals which I wish to use under the sheep welfare scheme? It must specify “a duration of cover......and must also specify a dose rate” Have come across one but it doesn’t specify duration of cover!!! Any suggestions on brands. In my experience store staff unable to advise accurately.

    OP I have moved your post from the North West forum to the Sheep sub forum of the Farming forum where you should get more responses.

    You could use something like growvite: https://www.agridirect.ie/product/growvite-sheep


    It covers 4 weeks so 2 doses should give enough cover for the scheme but technically 2 doses would only cover 56 days so you would probably want to use extra or get a few buckets to cover the 4 other days to appease any inspection.
