Fly strike season is starting early this year !
Fly strike is a significant risk to us as sheep stock holders, and the next few days will be spend ( with the exception of our annual trip to Nottingham county show) dagging, shearing and spraying the flock before we ear tag, trim up the hooves and start moving the stock on for this season!
Dealing with a sheep with fly strike is never pleasant but when it’s a simple fix, sadly it can grip fast, and hard. Luckily we have caught early this year.
