Worming, Vaccinating and Castrating, Sheep and Goats

Going through one of the herds here and vaccinating the kids, castrating with calf bands and checking and worming those who need it.

How did the apple cider vinegar and salt mix go? Do you think it helped with the worm loads??

Thanks 😊

What kind of drencher guns do you use?

[@grandviewlivestock3936]

Honestly, haven't found one that I like real well. I think they are Synanthic drench guns, yellow. They are on one of the videos.

Do y'all estimate their weight when you give them wormer medication? Or do you have a scale setup in that chute?

[@grandviewlivestock3936]

@theBakersonafewacres we just estimate it. Probably could save some money if we weighed them but the extra labor and animal stress would eat up any savings very quickly.
