One of the best "How to control worms" videos on KZhead
Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.
I had a sheep herd that ate the charcoal on limbs of a burn pile. Best wormer ever.
Interesting!
this is literally the best video explaining drench resistance and strategies ive seen! you've got a new subscriber
Awesome, thank you!
Love your pace and wisdom Your s good shepherd
I am a lifetime follower of your after this video brother. Your lesson about not preemptively de worming your heard fits in nicely with my understanding of antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria in humans. The over prescription of anti biotics has caused and will cause more "superbugs", disease resistant strains of pathogenic microbes. You a killing it 👏
I agree!
That's so informative, thank you very much
Well explained. I have been looking at the worms site.
Thank you. 🤝.
Great video, very informative.
Kudos to you from north shores of Lake Michigan
Infomative

Nice video share website

I am applying your skills far away here im Uganda (Africa) and it’s amazing the results are great.
Thanks for watching. Glad the channel is helpful.
Great video, Thank you. I had heard or read it was a 6 week cycle of the worms in a field? I have also heard there are different worm loads between goats and sheep which I found to be slightly incredulous. Thanks again
In my experience sheep handle worms better than goats.
Is there a product you can spray your pasture without harming the animals, ie.. sulphur, borax? Also what are your thoughts on diatamatious earth as a natural wormer.
Nothing that I’m aware of. DE studies that I’ve read have not shown much benefit, but I know several farmers that love it and believe it makes a big difference. I have not personally tried it.
U have a nice set up & not super far from me just wondering do u sale most of your lambs at your farm or do u take them to an auction
I sell most of mine off the farm
A better way to do working is to run a fecal and find out which specific work is affecting the animal and use a wormer affective to that specific worm
How do you not have more followers! You need a tiktok my guy…
Lol. Thanks. I’m doing good to do Facebook and KZhead. I’m not great at managing social media forums.
@@rollingofarm You are INCREDIBLE i spend hours and hours watching you and learning i cant wait to build yardschute and flip table as i manage 42 sheep alone and that would be so good for me.....cheers from gippsland Australia
What about if they have sure on their mouth?
Thanks. So, its best to have at least 8 fields for rotation? Can you put horses in a field that you just moved goats out of? Or, will they also get the same worms?
If you do weekly rotations, eight paddocks works very well. It is OK to put horses in, because they do not get the same parasites as Goats and Sheep.
That go with cows and horses too
My goats (under 100) graze on 100 ac. They seem to work themselves. Mostly never worming and they are thriving. There's not much pine at all which acts as a natural dewormer. Do you know what else could be worming them out there?
That is great! I would guess your stocking rate is so low that it is hard for there to be much of a build up of worms on the property. Could also be climate (if you live in a drier area).
I was interested in your shoot width and height in your working pens. Could you share that pls?
Here is a video of the working system as a whole. kzhead.info/sun/qq1_cbyrkYWbeHk/bejne.html I also have a videos on the gates and flip table.
I have four baby lamb all are 3 months old. I plan to keep them in confinement to help minimized parasite and protect them from bob cat and coyotes that are prevailing where I lived. Do you think this practice will help, and should I be concern with other diseases/illness when housing the sheep in closed shelter?
You will need to keep the area clean and not let manure build up. If you keep it clean and dry you will greatly reduce your problems.
I'm starting to rotationally graze with two goats, and I put them up in the horse trailer at night that travels with them and holds the water/minerals etc. Can I mitigate problems with worms with poop in the trailer simply by sweeping/cleaning out the horse trailer when moving?
I think cleaning the trailer when moving should work.
Would mixing food grade Diatomaceous Earth in with their grain every few meals help with worms?
The studies that I’ve read didn’t make it sound like DE is very affective. However, several farmers have told me they feel they have good success with it.
What would u suggest for a small herd with just 3 paddocks ?
Probably just move them every 2-3 weeks. Or better if you could use portable fencing to subdivide paddocks into smaller areas.
Have a nice shelter of shade where they would mostly poop. Then you keep all poop there mostly when they stand up and that would control their poop. I never thought of it, but maybe that's why some fenced paddocks have no trees ect for shade. Bad advice thou. I'd never recommend animals stay in a pen with no large vegetation for them to live with. Hmm?
How do you determine when a certain dewormer is no longer effective and its time to move to the next one?
If I treat several and there is no improvement in 3 weeks in any of them I know it’s time to try something else.
🇺🇸👍👍👍OK
Which medication or medicine is good for worms

Have you ever dewormed with DE diamatyaceous earth
I have not personally used DE.
hmmm, im surprised zero grazing is not mentioned. im curious
Good point. I’ve never tried dry lotting for more than short periods of time (a week or two), so I don’t have much experience with it.
Guineas are great for keeping worms down in fields of goats 🐐 and sheep. 🐑
Hi i was wondering how guineas find and eat sheep worms cheers
@@annonymousme2528 They are amazing birds that first originated on the continent of Africa and are fierce insect insect eaters,including the tiniest of insect's.... worm eggs.
I have a friend that feeds natural charcoal, like a burned tree limb, into their feed. Will that kill parasites? She learned that from her grandpa and convinced that that is a natural deworming technique. Kinda makes sense. What is your opinion
I really don’t know. I think I’ve heard that before, but I’ve never tried it. I’ve never seen any studies done on that.
Run cattle with them cattle worms can't live in sheep and sheep worms can't live in cattle also feed pumpkins its a natural dewormer
