WORTH NOTING
A young farmer at Fernside has a novel method of reducing risk of footrot infection in his flock. He has set a shallow concrete trough about six feet wide at the front of a stock lick feeder. Until the ewes become used to the trough no liquid solution will be added. Then a bluestone solution will be made up. This idea of getting ewes to go through a footrot mixture themselves has proved successful on a Blenheim property, so the farmer at Fernside sees no reason why it should not work with him. He said other farmers at Fernside were also trying this idea.
