@raymondwarrington9950 Yeah sound. Not saying your wrong. Was just my experience. Can always get better with everything. I appreciate your Co.ments and input. Thank you
Thank you for letting us know what you used for the watery mouth, I will be on the phone tomorrow morning to see if they sell it here in Wales (maybe our Welsh government has banned it)
No spectam here in Wales but I told the vet about you, the practice give me Parofor Crypto 140 same ingredients what you used, fingers crossed now on no more watery mouth@@jamesfox5245
Thanks for your information about watery mouth I'm hoping we have solved it before the main folk lambing time, if I see you in a pub in Wales I will buy you a pint
Ì think you would be better off putting out them hardy lambs you brought up to the big shed. They can get scour and joint ill etc inside James. You know best but thats my experience. Good luck with the rest of the lambing.
That your main problem. If it’s only 18% there won’t be much soya in it. Probably good enough for singles but not multiples. Ask them for a breakdown of ingredients. They should have a higher spec ration, IMO
Who told you that? Know many farmers & myself included & never anymore issues with mastitis by using higher protein meal. Mastitis is down to bugs & hygiene

What meal are you feeding the sheep?
18% super ewe nut from Gardiner Grain.
That your main problem. If it’s only 18% there won’t be much soya in it. Probably good enough for singles but not multiples. Ask them for a breakdown of ingredients. They should have a higher spec ration, IMO
@@raymondwarrington9950 problem with higher protein nuts, ewes got mastitis on them.
Who told you that? Know many farmers & myself included & never anymore issues with mastitis by using higher protein meal. Mastitis is down to bugs & hygiene
@raymondwarrington9950 well when I tried the higher protein I had nothing but mastitis.
😮your still alive anyway!!
Hope.sheep
Get.sorted hughor lose them
Cheers.
