Yes, Campyvax. It has to be imported under license from NZ.
It is imported by some vet wholesalers, but obviously they take a healthy margin for doing so. I import it myself, with a license my vet gets for me. Costs me about 55p/dose doing it that way, half of which is the shipping.
You give two doses before the first tipping, then an annual booster. Most just do them as lambs and shearlings, then they get immune from natural exposure later.

Thanks, another job to fit in I think for next year but better than a storm next lambing. First outbreak we had was 36 years ago, year we got married, a third of them aborted.
Hoping we have got away with just a warning this year.

Seems a shame to bring them down to paddle round a wet field to lamb, they can always find some shelter on the hill even on a night like last night. But we lose too many to predators when we try and lamb on the hill. This one beat me to it when I gathered.
I've picked up a couple this week so far, this weather can't be helpingLost 3 healthy looking lambs with pulpy kidney this week. None of them 3 weeks old yet
