So got the vet coming to blood test ewes on Tuesday last year had a few ewes tupped on first cycle then hold for two cycles then come back a tupping this year have got the same Happening again so thinking there’s defiantly something wrong I should say once there in lamb never had any problem with abortion etc.
ewes have had agrim bolus 6 weeks prior to tupping and tupping blocks, all in good tupping condition so was just looking for some possible causes for when she comes Enzo or Toxo?

Enzo would normally give you abortions nearer to term, Toxo can be any time.

You say they were in good tupping condition. What condition are they in now? Rapid loss of condition after tupping (as with fluke or barber pole) can make them reabsorb.

Any chance dogs might have been amongst them?

Yeh at tupping they we’re about perfect not to skinny or fat if you know what I mean, and since tupping they have been on winter grazing so condition steadily getting better but it’s not to lush or wasn’t to much of a change from the grazing they were on there’s nothing which screams to me a reason why it should be happening no where near footpaths or dogs no contact with cat muck that I know which is why I’ve rang the vet for blood tests totally puzzled. Even swapped tups about so had different tups
