Shaving MAGGOTS off a Ram! + applying medicine 

They must feel such relief when you shave them. Yay, you! Keep up the good work!

Good job! I like how you just went after that ram tending his skin problems and hes squirming away to no avail. A real farmer.

Thank you for helping this sweet baby

That's really a shame that these animals get maggots like that but it always makes me feel good and happy to see those horrible creatures taken OFF and then the medicine put ON! It gives me a sense of relief like well, at least something is going right in the world.

The best scratching EVER…my goodness that must ITCH like hell!

Omg poor Ram😢 so much pain, poor boy. Thank you for helping him🙏🙏❤️

Wow! Farm with me, there's a lot of advice for you in these comments. I'm esp appreciative of those that don't know one end from another. Your patience is highly commendable.

Thank you for saving him God bless

Thank you for showing how you deal with this. We are new to sheep, and always trying to learn more.

i remember doing this helping my dad, sometimes the smell was awful and some where red hot......miss those days in the meadow trimming feet, worming, cutting off clangers from the rear end lol

I like that you season the sheep with Mayo when finished shaving.

Well done. Poor thing. This looks so so so sore!

Watching this is very satisfying.

Oh this poor boy, that looks horrendous 😢 Get well soon!

I feel sorry for what our animals have to endure outside at times. Thank the Lord who care about them and help them like this man is doing.

In the beginning, I saw the way its friend peaced out under your legs like, "I wants no part of this"

You did awesome, good job :)

Pero xque no lo hacen, apartada d las otras??. Se pueden contagiar.

. *THERE MUST BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED.*

The only problem I see with this is by shearing the infected animal so close to the other animals they could transfer because as shearing at the beginning of the video the effected area was flying of the one you are helping and the maggots are landing on the sheep next to it and landing on their leg’s and on floor that others will be walking through.I understand that this is a problem that won’t go away and that you can only do the right thing and I appreciate how hard on a free range farm this can be. Thanks for treating this problem as quickly as possible and i don’t know how someone who is not there can complain about the sheep 🐑 and lambs,if they want free range meat and say they should not be kept in barn situation,this is what happens sometimes they can’t have it both ways.Thank you for all the pain and effort you put in on what is a hard lifestyle and maybe they should help out on a farm too truly see what it takes,sorry for rambling on it just annoying when people criticise without fully understanding what goes on

The wool is lovely good for insulation in homes

Omg check you're shoes before you leave!! They fell in there I swear I saw it!!

Pero porque?hace eso donde estan todas juntas deberian ser un poco mas higienicos asi evitan que las otras se contajien

God bless you real men that can do this job! I would puke every two minutes, so the saver would get all stopped up!

Videos make me itch, I don’t know why I watch them

Well done.

Good jobx

Sweet sheep Sheep 🐑 🐑🐑🐑 Thanks Thanks 💗 Thanks Thanks 💗 Thanks Thanks 💗 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹

Wunderbar! ♥

わぁ～～こんなにこの子のもうじだらけで😭😭 痒くて痒くてしんどかったろうね😢😢

If I lived by you, I would do that for free. Just to get all those nasty things off the sheep.

I watched a few of your videos with the maggots…They seem to favour the same spot, towards the back on their backs! God Bless and good luck with this horrible problem…Poor sheepies🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦

Ever tried spraying lavender extract? It keeps flies away very effectively.

good

After you springle liquid stuff on it's back how long does it take for it to completely heal?

Gross but weirdly satisfying. Keep it up sir!

wow that has to be so painful

is the wool viable after being sheared off?? if it was in the fields would the birds eat the maggots from the sheared wool?

Лучше отдельно стричь овцу, чтобы не было перезаражения.

It’s like a big hot spot.

I wish the video was closer up because I couldn't tell maggots from wool. It just looked like they were shaving darker wool off

Being an Aussie I should know this… but how can you tell if there are fly larvae under all that wool?

Can you use a water bucket and give it a good wash? Then apply antiseptic etc? I am wandering I don’t know I’ve never owned them. Also are those chemicals strong to burn their skin?

how do you stop them from spreading once you shave and the maggots are on the ground?

After seeing a few of these, how is it their getting these wounds?

i understand keeping the ram with the ewes but can anyone else get infected by being in such close proximity?

Oh my god! I threw up in my mouth a little. Poor things, god bless real men who will take these jobs.

Hi! Dont they spread to the sheep standing next to the one you are treating? Im really curious.

Question - what are your using for treatment? You tried showing it to us, but I was not able to read it. I scrolled down to try and find the answer, bud did not see it mentioned. Thank you!

How do you get all of the maggots off and off the ground?

What do you guys do with the shaved wool that’s been infected by flystrike?

I'm not questioning your work, I'm just wondering something. Does this fly infestation happen more so in the warmer months? If so could it be prevented by shaving them before they get this?

HOW do you do that in shorts and no gloves? Gives me the willys. I appreciate the videos.

Damn flies

can’t you shave the infected ones away from the non infected sheep?

Does that happen because of moisture or lack of movement?

The itchiness of this on them must be horrific. Hopefully other farmers are as considerable as you with their animals

Wow, that hurts😮

thank

Does running the clippers over the wound hurt?

Must be a relief

How can u tell who has flystrike is it the variance of color of the wool?

They should do that outside. Those maggots are going to keep burrowing inside. The sun and fresh air would be a better place .

Is that yellow discoloration from blood serum? Or is that just normal?

Sorry for the question, which may be silly, but from my ignorance, wouldn't it have been better to isolate the animal before treatment?.

It looks so painful. Is there a smell?

is the wool then lost from this?? I cant imagine how anoying this must be for the little ones i feel for them luckely there are people like you that take care like this i would love to work on a farm close to animals and nature

wouldnt it be a tad easier to hold it down like people normally do when they shave?

❤❤

Fascinating!...I never knew,is this common in sheep?

O god that must be so painfull for that poor soul

Try to keep some fowls on farm to monitor those maggots.

What is it in the wool that causes this?

Are those ticks as well?

do they give any regard for the pain that they are in? they must be some tuff ass sheep cause that looks very painful

How does this happen

Do the sheers hurt the sheep when you go over the infected area? Just curious.

ugh those things are horrible. i saw a video a few years ago of a newborn calf infested with these maggots in a matter of hours after being born. just awful.

Is it usually the same sheep every year? Are there some that are just "messier" than others? 🌞

Is there an update on this sheep xx

I’m honestly curious, how do they get maggots anyway? What happens to cause the wounds? Have they been attacked?

You need pick all the maggot infected wool and burn them and treat then that way you are allowing the maggots to jump on other clean sheep and that's just more work

Poor sheep is so bony

Can sheep heal on its own wihout intervention?

Hi, are the brown spots necrosis at this point or just infection. Great job

How come it got to that stage?

How do they get those wounds

Do the maggots die if there is no host? Or do they continue their life cycle? I would imagine they die.

Yes master! Please Get the itchies off me!

How come he has got so many wounds on him

😢😭😰 muito triste viver assim sem assepsia nenhuma

This is so sad to me. Glad they are taking care of this poor animal. That can't feel good.

GLOVES!!

🐏💔💔💔 Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏😇👍👍🐏❤❤❤

It needs consistent salt and water bath to heal wound and or antibiotics

I hope the animals are not in any pain form the maggots.

Porque demora tanto cuidar , os bichos comem eles e é sofrimento

Farmers work is never done.

That poor 🐏 is in a lot of pain. It's must be painful for the poor soul. The skin is so sore looking.

Its hard work constantly doing maggot control imagine if you have 150 sheep .
