Shepherd shears sheep to save its life. Flystrike maggots attack ewe #farming #sheep #shorts

When blowflies lay their eggs in a sheep’s wool, they hatch into maggots. Within 2 days of hatching a sheep can be killed by these maggots, which eat into them causing severe wounds. Today? I found a ewe who had a severe infestation. Thankfully I caught it early enough that she will make a full recovery. I hope it’s not too hard to watch, but it is the reality of sheep farming.
