Dont know whether im pleased lambing is about done for another year got a lot of lambs standing looking like camels this morning feck me s a horrible morning
If it doesn’t change soon, I’ve a horrible feeling keeping lambs going after lambing is going to be harder and more expensive than lambing. Hell of a lot of rain came down last night

Shouldn't be , they are on very good quality dry silage but not ruling anything out at this point, hopefully know better this morning if lab results come back.
We have had about 7 abort from a batch of 430 due this Sunday. Vet has ruled out Enzo and toxo, just as well as they are vaccinated for these. Thinks it is Campy but waiting for test results. He did mention possibly listeria but they have been on beet, not had silage and no ill ewes. We will see, if Campy it will be another vaccine to give.
