Sometimes they can be like that when they are sick of the weather

I must have bad weather every year. Some ewes won't have it!
I think it's important to call it early, if you think your beaten then the sooner the vets operating the more chance of success.

I’m sick of the bloody weather never mind the ewes
More annoying when you think they take then a week later they decide it not there lamb.

I've four lambs away to the lab today, have had a real abortion storm, 36 so far out of a batch of 100, worst I've ever had. I imagine it will come back enzootic, hate the sight of them now. Atleast it has only been in this batch.
Ad on the radio lidl leg of lamb £5.69/kg
How does that work

Aye it’s a bugger we had another this morning which was a shearling out of one batch but they were in getting dosed and injected yesterday which is always trouble
If there’s only 100 I would go through them with alamycin la 200 give them all 7ml might put a break in it for you

If it’s enzo it might stop it if it’s campo it will steady it for a few days not sure about toxo
When’s the due date?

Last time I had a bunch starting with it, first 7 all had lambs that were fully formed but born dead. Alamycin LA stopped it more or less overnight.

So i was just trying to work out tonight where this could have started, most of these are home bred ewes but I added 20 bought in ewes which were given out as being double vaccinated so I'm assuming they possibly brought it with them.

Yes anytime Ive had a problem before the allamycin worked a treat but this is the first I've had in a long time apart from the odd one with knocks but it seems pretty potent.

Not far to go then. I have bought ewes in amongst 2 batches of our sheep and it’s our own ewes that’s slipped too. That’s a thought

Had it five years ago too, bad silage was to blame. All had been vaccinated for enzo and toxo the previous autumn but the vet said sometimes it takes a year to work properly and to be fair I haven’t had any bother since

Was it listeria ?
