MAGGOTS on SHEEP already!

[@sandrabeck8788]

I had NO IDEA the complexity of caring for sheep. Very impressive how you treat each individual animal and assure it recovers from infestations and injury.

[@dt8ustotten285]

Prayers to you, your family and your sheep!! We tune into you to be a part of your journey!! Thanks for sharing your everyday life with us. Don't apologize.. we are thankful for everything you share with us.. the good, the bad and today.. the ugly. Those poor sheep!! Had to be painful and a lot of work for you and your staff! Your little boy is sooooo cute. Out there directing the sheep already!! You are doing the best that you can do!!

No apologies necessary Cammie, glad you got on top of it quickly. That poor ewe, I bet she feels a lot better now.

Thank you for all you do, Cammie! And for bringing us along with you whenever y’all can!! No fretting now!!! Just do your best for your family and flock and the rest will fall into place!!

Fly strike must almost drive them crazy. It would be like having ants stuck in our clothing and being able to get our clothes off. Cammy you are awesome and always bring good content. You do NOT disappoint me and I always look forward to your videos. I see how extremely hard you, Lizzy and your team work and I am excited when I see your videos. I never think you are letting me down with any of your videos, I really appreciate you make the time to get a video out. Hope your season goes well. All the best you, Lizzy, the wee little men and your team.

[@bbyng7316]

Fly strike is agony and evil. So nearly lost a stalwart ewe to it. Tee tree oil is good but the whole fleece needs to come off ASAP. Sheep are completely defenseless against such insidious parasites. It presents as the tip of an iceberg, just like this.

[@donnajones6306]

Got a good looking flock of sheep. I'm in the states and know nothing of sheep. But am use to farming with cattle and goats. Those ewes are in good hands with you caring for them. Keep up the good work

[@jackireed-perry453]

An unrelated comment Cammie. I saw the interview with Farm Diggity. Beyond measure, I loved this. Thanks for doing that.

[@paulabell8294]

I haven't seen these videos before and just checked the comment to see if there were any criticisms from the armchair experts who think that this is neglect. It's not. It's just what happens and is hard to detect in the early stages, especially in a large flock. I admire this man's kind and caring attitude to his sheep. Believe me, they aren't all like that.

[@juneschwierjohn5512]

I think most of us are grateful to see what you are able to show us. You flock and your work have to come first. And you need time to take care if yourself and your family as well. You don't do anyone or any critter any good if you get down or behind. Your videos are always interesting.

do you record issues like fly-strike and lameness etc in your 'flock watch' so you can prep your 'to do' calendar for next year to ease the scheduling of maintenance that needs to be done during your shearing time? Are you finding the 'flock watch' as useful as you had hoped?

@@w056007568 sorry i forgot to add open wounds, but those sheepies looked like the maggots had caused the damage on the skin?

[@w056007568]

@@hectorskmetija3015 Yes they will eat into any soft tissue and totally consume it so skin, fat, muscle tissue etc is food to a maggot whether the sheep is dead or alive. Once treated damaged areas will heal in most cases but only with scar tissue. This is why it is important for the shepherd to identify and take quick action to kill off the maggots asap - they are one of nature's organisms designed to "clean up" dead creatures!
