I bought some gimmer lambs in the sales last year to run on and keep some grass down with the intention of selling them this Autumn, that was the plan. Last week one looked a bit off so got in the pens gave it a jab and if it didn’t perk up by the next day vet job might be cheaper than paying the knacker man . Long story short after a pm it had OPA which is infectious but rare in young sheep so the rest of them could have it . I was told I probably bought it with it . I come to the decision to sell them for meat .
Should I contact the previous seller that he possibly has OPA in his flock ?
