Important advice regarding drenching of youngstock from the Emma at Wormwise.

Faecal egg count monitoring after drenching is crucial to make sure that the oral drench you are using is working effectively.

Remember that the most expensive drench you will ever use is one that isn't working!

Give us a call at the clinic to discuss your parasite management and what oral combination drench is best suited for your calves on your farm.

We had a great day out yesterday on farm doing some field trials of different methods of pain relief for lambs at tailing and castration. This was a valuable experience for our clients who attended and also our staff and industry reps to see how these interventions are applied in a real world situation.

Our fine wool growers who supply the New Zealand Merino Company will be implementing some of these methods to improve animal welfare on farm over the next few years, and even some of our strong wool growers will be using pain relief for castration and tailing this season after seeing the difference it makes.

Its great to see New Zealand farmers once again leading the way in the world with regards to animal welfare on farm!

If you are a sheep farmer interested in learning more about the use of pain relief for castration and tailing please get in touch. We do have the availability to do further on farm sessions to demonstrate these interventions in action, or can run training days on your own farm.

🐏 SX Fine Wool Ram Sale January 23rd 2023 at 1pm 🐏
The Cleardale SX Fine Wool is a stabilised fine-wool composite that
is based on 25% Cleardale Merino, 25% English Leicester and 50%
Moojepin Merino. In 2013 we tried some Moojepin semen over merino and halfbred sheep. We really liked the quarterbred progeny and in 2014 we formed a joint venture with Moojepin and AI’d 450 ewes with Moojepin semen. From this original cross, the type has been stabilised with animals from the Cleardale flock as well as introductions from the Southern Cross (SX) nucleus flock. Two of the Moojepin sires have made a massive contribution to the flock. Moojepin 652, the most influential carcasse type merino ram in Australasia, left really meaty progeny. But probably the star has been Moojepin 319 who left some outstanding daughters including the dam of the multi trait leader, Cleardale 1230. This ewe, Cleardale AC0347, reared twins as a hogget, twins as a 2th and triplets (including 1230) as a 4th with a micron breeding value at close to 22 micron.
