    I dosed lambs with Zerofen last week but they're dirtier now than ever. They were out on fresh grass all week. Should I do them again with Levafas diamond?

    Put a bit of hay in with them. What did you dose with last week?

    Get them off that paddock and try and get hold of ground with a good herbal lay. Throwing wormers around like that will only store up future problems on your ground down the line

    I missed the zerofen. If you have sheep any length of time your lambs are probably have resistant to white wormers

    Get a fec test done. Grass is just running through lambs at the moment so they need a source of fibre

    You won’t know if it’s worms or wet grass until you do a test
    Cost about €15
