James Shell, Brandon, and Ross Wilson, Ingram Farm, both from Northumberland purchased a FECPAK jointly at North Sheep in June 2007. ''I couldn't believe how quickly I got used to using the FECPAK. We are very busy sheep farmers with a large number of sheep to look after but it's certainly worth the effort of finding the time to test. What's annoyed me is looking back and thinking about how much time and effort we wasted with routine drenching when we did not know if there was any worms there to start with.'' comments James. ''We bought the FECPAK in June 2007 and since then we have never looked back! We have seen massive savings when it comes to wormer treatments since using the FECPAK system. As well as this it, allows us to identify the most wormy parts of the farm, which helps us with management/grazing decisions .'' comments Ross. |
