Should Rid Lambs Of Crop Of Ticks
Johnson suggests dipping ewes and lambs a week to ten days after shearing to control ticks. A short healing delay is advised before dipping to allow ewe wounds to close. Dipping soon after the window helps ticks move from ewes to lambs, reducing blood loss and irritation. C W McDonald of Iowa State College recommends coal tar or arsenical dips for the flock.
