I don't have fiah ants but I do have a "seasonal goat rash" that I prefer to think is poison instead of something from mites/scabies/ebola. Itches like a mofo!! Drs were stumped last year so not going back now lol. Gotta love 'em! And that's just my arms...View attachment 63292 View attachment 63293
It could be oak tree mites or chiggers....they will eat ya up and ya will be itching intensly for several weeks....when ya are taking a shower....get the water as hot as ya can stand it and it will feel good when ya get out the bumps will not itch for a whole afterwards....after a few treatments the intensity of the itch will subside some with each treatment......:)

look like some kind of mite, similar to scabies.
They're under your skin, crawlin about, makin babies, watchin TV and drinkin beer and poopin everywhere...under your skin.
:hide
Ew! One time I went swimming in a lake in Maine and my legs were full of 'lake worms'...all under my skin and squirming around. That ruined lakes for me forever :ep
And when I researched it...they seem so pointless! They just go under your skin and stay there for a few days and make you SO uncomfortable and then they die :sick

Not only is it valued for the "lounging", but it saves having to use a "barber pump" on the goats to get them in the "air" so ya don't have to bend too far.....or sit-n-do.....;).....our goats sure loved the deck on their house, and it worked well with the elevation changes for us.....the animals....BABIES and All!!!....:thumbsup
@ Mike CHS ....maybe a platform in the chute would get the sheep up high enough to "trim" while standing or sitting....it would sure save the back.....:)
