I never like seeing bird shite in the troughs or when the grazing ground is wet and you get bird sh!t all over the short grass
I've got ducks,pigeons ,starlings and all other small birds in the sheds all the time I can't keep them out. The sheep aren't fed in troughs and are probably where birds sh!t least.
We also have resident geese population too.

We had campy about 7 or 8 years ago, had 40 sheep abort before we got a live lamb, folk kept saying it settle when we got properly into lambing but it never did, like you, we'd have 100+ abort, soul destroying, but then nowt the year after, think they get a bit of immunity for a few years

I don’t want to worry you but we were told, when we had our first campy storm, that it would rumble on then flair up every ten years or so.
That’s been about right.

That sounds terrible.do you know what the problem is?
I don’t know tbh, think probably toxo as was feeding some very bad hay that been in a shed a long time. I imagine it will turn a corner soon, I would have had live lambs yesterday but the weather took them as there in an exposed place and lambs a bit weak. Locals aren’t helping in reporting every dead sheep to the world. 🙄

If it’s the chlamydia one (campo) there’s often a white discharge on the placenta
