I just ordered the Weaver leather wraps for sheep. However, they only recommend leaving them on 48 hrs. How long can I leave the vet wrap on?

Most of the fungas we have encountered has taken about two weeks to show up. Fluid Film spray lubricant one can get at a John Deere dealer will kill it after one application.

We started using it this season with the advice from our breeder. I haven't seen a difference in the lambs since they have been on it. The breeder told me it keeps their hide healthy which in turn keeps the wool healthy.

Can anyone give me advice on how to keep a hamp lamb from picking his front leg wool off. He had full legs until after his first show. Now within a week has has plucked almost all of the front side down.

We have used Top Shelf for a couple of years and really like it. Since we started using the product we have never had a show lamb go off feed and in my opinion they look so much better. It is expensive but in my opinion it is worth it!
