I live in the humid southeast and I only wormed once, many years ago. In fact, all the sheep that were wormed have either been sold or died of old age, so none of the sheep on my place now have ever been wormed. My vet and my State Vet both encouraged me to do this. From that point on, I never wormed again. I did lose a few in the early years but none in several years. Survival of the fittest. Chris Buchanan
We've had our ABBs for about 4 years now and have never wormed them. When they were younger they may have had some minor problems but now they seem fine. This is in the San Francisco bay area where we do have a long dry summer, but it very rarely gets down to freezing temperatures in the winter.
