What do you all do for worming new lambs and their mothers? I'm under the impression that the lambs must be a minimum of 25 pounds to be wormed. Is this correct? Because on the labels, the minimum weight listed is 25lbs. I think last year I waited until he was 25lbs. I gave Valbazen last year in the Spring and Ivermectin in the Fall. Also, I was wondering about worming the mothers because the lambs are still nursing and I am concerned about how much is passed via the breast milk to the lamb. If so, would that not increase the dosage the lambs are getting and make the dosages inaccurate? I wouldn't want to overdose the lambs.
