Ticks Shear Sheep During Whole Year
Ohio sheep owners neglecting tick protection risk lost wool and poorer condition, says D C Foster, Paulding county agricultural agent. Ticks move from mature sheep to lambs during shearing, causing discomfort and damage. Dipping offers cheaper protection, with careful handling to avoid disease transfer and losses. Water heated for uniform temp and an agitator are advised for effective dipping.

Best Time To Cut Alfalfa Depends On Use Of Crops
The best time to cut alfalfa depends on intended use of the hay and stand says C. J. Willard of Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. Early cuts preserve quality but risk harming the stand. avoid woodlot pasture and favor clean legume pasture when possible. For permanent pastures, monthly parasite treatments begin May 1, with four treatments at three month intervals if sheep aren’t on permanent pasture. Parasite control should alternate tetrachlorethylene capsules with a combination drench. the flock should be dipped annually to limit external parasites.
