What other brands of cocci buckets is there that are good? I will be trying a other brand next year

I have had it with texal x ewes this year some of them are shocking mothers I thought I could handle it with the extra value of the cull ewe and it's lambs for the hassle but as the flock moves more and more to them from mules it's getting out of hand 30 adopters full most lambing time is no...

Wouldn't take advice from me. I have seen big losses from pulpy kidney from unvaccinated lambs. I have seen big losses from pasturella from vaccinated lambs. Crovexin is worth every penny O vivac, heptavac I would question if it's worth the premium

I am one of those naughty people that do them them twice with O vivac as lambs then jab them once a year with heptavac. Should do replacements later on with two C rovexins cheaper way to get them into heptavac system

Sorted. Hammers did the job. Had a little oh dear I'm stuck moment with tracked end (think it's called that) Slackened nut off then left it on thread increased I missed with hammer freed the ball joint but then could not slacked nut off due to it still on lock tight and the bolt started...

Cheers everyone will have a bash tommorow. Jacked it up and it's the bearing that has gone not ball joint so will try take hub of and drop it into garage to get new bearing pressed in. Will try hammers 1st

Fancy tackling changing the ball joints bushes on the suspension on my John deere gator. Can do brakes small service already just want to take the next step. Any fancy tools I will need?

I thought they would be best ran with the flock after lambing to help build passive immunity? Going to vaccinate all hoggs and hope ewes will have had some exposure by next year. You did well to get them to stop. Seem to get more and more every day just hope the nearer to lambing I get the...

Positive test result finally in. Campylobacter 3 weeks after I sent the 1st set of lambs in. Verdict not much I can do now as I am so close to lambing (8days). Not much fun when there's about 8-10 ewes aborting a day. I have learned that it's better to send as many fresh samples in as...

Will the new lamb teeth rule make long keep stores more appealing to buyers and ruin spring lamb trade?

I hope it is campy; at least I can vaccinate for it. Tests are slow to come back and inconclusive is frustrating.

Vet said blood test only confirms toxo or enzo unless she is mistaken

Ten days off lambing. Abortion kicking up a gear with about ten a day nearly 100 total. Vets still inconclusive on lambs sent in. Getting a few live lambs but none have made it 24 hours yet. Is this a sign or a clue to what it could be? Tests negative for enzo and toxo

Interesting ardface, post: 4965284, member: 16222"]No wasn’t campy was similar though vet said to just try not let them get too muddy round the back ends if out on roots and winter grazing not had any with it yet this year though Intresting thankyou. We have had trouble. tests have come back...

Depends on the initial scan% Higher the scan more the loses

Does it not restrict intakes for lambs?

Oh dear I went through a tonne and a half for 3000 lambs last year don't want them to eat any more

Sealed w="robcarrick, post: 4954432, member: 88064"]I agree with not jumping in when the lights on green, but roughly costing 60 pounds to buy and finish the lambs, a usual year going off the last 5 year average of 185-190ppk in March? Surely there’s a margin at 80 pounds with the sufficient...

OTE="neilo, post: 4939934, member: 348"]If I can sell an mature aborted cull ewe at £80-90 currently, and replace her by retaining an extra ewe lamb at £80 (to cover abortion vacs etc), I would think it a no brainer personally, even more so considering the problems we’ve bought in with pet lambs...

It's not the ewes fault she aborted. Can't justify cashing her unless a poor ewe. Replacements are in short supply. Just cost a couple of quid to run on a bit of poor ground out the way till back end. Couldn't help myself and got some of neighbour who I border anyway.
