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!!

rangler1 wrote: » 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
Green farmer wrote: » 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.

rangler1 wrote: » 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,

Dickie10 wrote: » 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
