    2.2 ltr (no 2.5) would treat about 110

    Thanks, I usually sell the ram lambs as forward stores in early July and the ewe lambs in August.

    Will be getting ewes clipped around the 10th June weather permitting,wouldn't it be time enough until then to treat the lambs with Clik?

    It is ok but they are not 100% in standing over their product... They will either blame the bad or good weather for a breakdown of the product. I have used it up until now & will probably change to Clik

    We shear in February so a fair bit of wool on sheep at this stage. Got cruel hardship last few yrs with maggots after using all these different pour-ons. Bought a 2nd hand shower last year and find it brilliant. Just set it up where u want and they run through it. Quick and effective!!

    Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is a hand shower and could you put a picture as I am new into sheep and wouldn't mind using something other than a pour-on!

    I shear in august/september and have always found Clik 100% effective this time of the year

    Does everyone here put something on the ewes?

    We would have shorn here usually around now. The lambs would have gotten click, but the ewes usually got nothing. And they wouldn't hardly ever have gotten any maggots...

    Really?

    We would hardly ever have gotten maggots on ewes here - lambs yes, but never hardly ewes... the very very occasional one... but I think even then, that was before shearing...

    Do you put clik on both ewes and lambs now ? Would ewes be ok with the heavy coats over the summer ? Starting to see signs of fly strike here, so better clik or shear soon

    We don't do the lambs now, they don't seem to be as prone to maggot when ewes have clik on them, do them at weaning and it covers into october then

    Will have to take action one way or other now. Found first ewe flystruck today. Thought I'd be ok up until mid June. Sort of puts pressure on. Looked at the lambs as well today. The llyen ram really does leave a clean lamb after them.

    Do you mean leaving ewes 3 months to shearing. I thought the meat withdrawal is less than that.

    You can read the can yourself, I was just making green aware of that, the fleece won't even make the cost of clik this year, would usually Clik here the end May and shear end of august,

    Okay then I was clarifying what you were leaving 3 months shearing or slaughtering.
    I didn't even have to leave my chair to find out its a 40 day withdrawal for meat and as you say sheep shouldn't be shorn for 3 months. The data sheet here gives all the information.

    I assume the 3 months is for our protection as apposed to the sheep. Most lads would have stringy vests and coming in close contact with the wool over a sustained period.

    see a few lambs with wagging tails , my thinking is that il have to click any that are not 40 kg, that leaves with 5 weeks before i can slaughter, would lambs put on more than 1 kg a week? my thinking is that i can still slaughter the 40kg plus lambs in that period. it will save me running after them every second evening or getting one half ate. my question is could i or should i go with 40 kg cut off or a bit less? im bring lambs between 45-49 for slughter and getting kill out weight of 18.5- 23kg , paaid to 20.5kg. is this a deccent plan?

    Could you use clikzan? That has a 7 day withdrawal.

    Its expensive, but you could do em all. You'd have ease of mind knowing they were all covered...

    what is it like? i think i might have used it before. i also used ectofly which i found to be brutal. if clickzin is as good as click it would be just the job for me, because i wont have to weigh all the lambs to get the ones over 40 kg. how long protection will i get with clickzin? i usually buy in store lambs as well so i dip lambs and ewes around august 15th, if i could get to that date i would be happy

    I found it did the same as Clik to be honest, twas handy for lambs with the 7 day withdrawal.
    However - it only does 8 weeks (vs 16 weeks for Clik) so you'd be under pressure to get to the middle of August.

    I found with Clik (and I assume its the same as Clikzan) that once the 16 weeks was up, you could get caught.
