    Lamb with scours

    I moved some ewes with lambs onto fresh pasture on Sunday. Today I have noticed just one lamb (just over 8 weeks old) with diarrhea.

    Small drench gun

    So routing through the old crap the previous owner of my place left behind I’ve found a little drench gun that would be ideal to use for lambs. It’s absolutely filthy and I don’t fancy trying to clean it up but it would be really useful to have. Looking around online I can’t seem to find...

    What did this lamb die of?

    Bought the lambs in for footbathing this afternoon. Noticed that one lamb was foaming round the mouth a little and and lagging behind. After turning them back out I went out a couple of hours later to check on him and he was dead. He was 4 weeks old, a good, solid lamb (approx 15-18kg and well...

    "Improving Our Lot" - Planned Holistic Grazing, for starters..
