Sheep Worming today!

Farming like many jobs has no holiday…Grandma use to say” if the ox is in the ditch you got to get him out…”

I looked at the sheep Sunday, and thought I think they are coming down with the liver flukes! (we had several days in the high 60’s and rain) …Well I looked at them this afternoon and for sure….Heads were swelling.

I had the puppies riding round on the gator with me in the big crate. They found the sheep most interesting…No fear as the sheep all gathered round and Drover kept them with me.

We went back and got the medication needed and headed down…Puppies and Drover…

Drover and I penned the sheep. The puppies watched.

Drover is getting very efficient penning his sheep.

We wormed 30 sheep!
