Drenching is the task of dosing a sheep orally with a formula that will assist in the management of parasites in the sheep. It is an important job of a sheep owner, as parasites are often fatal to sheep. 

Although it sounds simple, drenching is a complicated task. It is important to dose to the correct weight and to ensure you are using an effective drench - otherwise you could be wasting your money!
