Selling a lamb with maggots

Tomjim · 2023-06-18 11:40:58

I'm bringing lambs to the factory in the morning and I'm after noticing one is just getting maggots, while the wool is getting a little greasy looking there is no wool damage. To get ris of the maggotts, I got liquid hand soap applied it to the maggotts and rubbed them out. I think I got most of the maggotts out, is it ok…

I take it the soap won't cause any issue?
