Treat Lambs For Parasites Now
Lambs are selling about $35 per hundred so care for stock. Don Lee Jefferson County Farm Adviser favors soaking sheep in a DDT solution to control ticks and lice, using 1 pound of 50 percent DDT in 30 gallons of water after shearing. Also spray if needed, cover animals well. For internal parasites, use a two step phenothiazine treatment in spring and fall, 1 ounce per mature sheep and 42 ounce per lamb, then 1 ounce per pound of feed. Maintain a salt mix of phenothiazine for pasture use, 1 pound per 10 pounds of salt, kept dry.
