Video: Sheep Farming: Suffolk Ewe Down! - Barberpole Worms/Scurred Dorsets/Daily Farm Life!

Today at Ewetopia Farms, we thought it was going to be a "drama-free" day - everyone was looking good so all we had to do was feed everyone. Then I noticed a Suffolk ewe with a large lump underneath her jaw which is the classic symptom for Bottle Jaw that is cause by the Barberpole worm. So we catch the ewe and show you how to check for symptoms in your sheep and how to treat it.
