My view on specific infectious diseases:Scald varies greatly due to genetics of the sheep, length of pasture and conditions around feeders and on bedding. See later for the trials we have done. The bug is on every field.

Footrot seems to blend into Scald and “climbs on the top” of Scald. This bug lives in feet and can only last on pasture for a few weeks. Repeat offenders should be culled as they are likely carriers. Get some notchers and notch the tag at each treatment.
