[Jacob-list] Worming lambs

[Chris and Tina Griffin]

Hi All,
I am trying to decide what to do with my lambs.  We had a lamb die from a Parasite infestation and as wet as it is here I am concerned that we might loose more.  Using the FAMACHA method like Linda said I am able to really identify those sheep in jeopardy.  I have Cydectin drench for sheep, but it is not recommended for lambs less than 4 months.  Since I am not sure what to use, I spotted the lambs with 2.5 ml of Cydectin pour on for cattle.  We give this to goats as a drench and it works well against a large number of parasites and worms.  Of the 4 lambs that we have only one is anemic to the point of me being concerned.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
