SCOPS is urging sheep farmers to pause and assess before reaching for a routine Nematodirus treatment this spring. Warm spring weather means many lowland areas have passed the peak Nematodirus hatch before many lambs were old enough to be grazing.

Using forecasts alongside on‑farm knowledge can help reduce unnecessary treatments, supporting sustainable parasite control and slowing the development of anthelmintic resistance.

*Urgent new home needed for two senior female sheep*
Due to our upcoming house move and downsize daisy-may and lily are asking for a new home. They are friendly and independent elderly sheep (sisters aged 12 and 13).
Born on our smallholding in West House and have lived only as pets. They were hand reared and respond well to people. They like a handful of ewe cobs for breakfast and a shelter to stay dry. Both love a bit of human interaction. Transport no problem.
Thank you in advance
