    I don't think the dose went the wrong way as he hasn't been thriving for a good while now even before the doses

    Try the antibiotics so...... cortisone as well is good to clear the lungs too
    I take it all the time for my asthma.
    I hesitate to tell you to talk to your vet as I wouldn't hold much hope

    I have to make presentations at times for the off-farm job. Someone told me years ago not to spend all the prep time on the content coz people will remember three things: the presenter, the delivery, and then the content.

    Would have really liked to go but unfortunately too much on at home. I presume there will be a write up for it in the indo or the farmers journal.

    Have lambs who's clik withdrawl period will be up on next Wednesday, would it be OK to sell these lambs in the mart next Tuesday or would it be safer to wait until the following week.

    What would be the story if a factory agent bought these and when they were being killed traces of the product showed up

    Have it announced at the mart, that's what our mart recommends. Can't swear to you whether that's the right thing to do or not but having a record of it would help in the event of problems down the line.

    Trials have been done to show that sheep are safe in a lot less than 40 days from the application of CLIK

    The withdrawal always has a margin of safety built in.

    The Muslim festival eid is from July 9th to the 14th this year. When will they be most active buying for this festival or when would the best time to go with ram lambs be? To the mart I’m thinking of going
