[Jacob-list] Ear sores

[Linda]

I've a couple. I didn't have good luck wrapping the ear, but found that 
putting a soft wrap on the horn to minimize the impact plus treating the 
ear helped. One of the ewes had a button tag in her ear and I think that 
contributed, so I pulled the tag.

The bugs must be worse this year as I found this to be happening with a ewe that is 3 years old and this didn't happen last year. I sprayed it and wrapped it before I left for vacation but I doubt the wrap will last. Any suggestions?
