HI,
   My sheep were doing the rubbing this winter lots
more than usual.  One was sheared early and I put the
keds,lice etc. stuff on her back and she has not done
it since.  The other 2 have not been sheared and they
stopped about the same time!!!???  It was quite dry
when they were rubbing and now that the rain has come
consistently they do not rub so I wondered if they had
dry skin because they are a low lanolin sheep?
   I know some of the paracites are pretty hard to
see, just looking.I just dose them with the surface
keds, lice thing after they are sheared once a year.
