WINTER DIPPING SHOWER OR PLUNGE DIPPER FOR HIRE

Winter Dipping As from the 1st of January 2026 all veterinary medicines including sheep dip are under vets prescriptions meaning a farmer must provide his own dip when we come to dip the sheep. The cost will now be reduced to €1.40 per sheep. Minimum charge of less than 55 sheep will be €85.00. DIPPING NOW in Mayo, Galway, Sligo, Roscommon, & Leitrim and we will travel for large numbers. Several external parasites such as MAGGOTS, KEDS, TICKS & LICE are all kept under control by dipping. A sound standard of flock hygiene cannot be maintained without dipping and without this practice sheep will not thrive. Ewes going to the Ram will benefit by being dipped beforehand. Store lambs will fatten quicker if they are not bothered by parasites. Dipping eliminates this problem. POUR ON'S ARE EXPENSIVE AND DO NOT KILL MAGGOTS Dip which is mixed fresh on each farm and the small amount that is left after dipping is let out of the sump so each farm has clean fresh dip. Sheep have a full 3 minutes in the shower, Our new pump sends 600lts of dip per minute on to the sheep so they are totally saturated Sheep are soaked from the top as well as from the bottom through high pressure jets making sure they completely covered soaked in dip The advantages of a sheep shower are:- 1. No labour is required. 2. There is not a great lot waste dip to dispose of. 3. You and your workers are not exposed to the dip. 4. A lot less stress is put on the sheep. 5. The sheep do not have to be transported back to the farm to be dip. 6. Sheep are totally saturated unlike a spray race. 7. We dip 7 days a week if required.
