    Stillborn lambs

    Majority of the lambs that I lose are stillborns >95%. Full term just born dead. Have always put it down to sheepitis but am I missing a trick? Crossbred ewes, housed week before lambing. Is housing them close to lambing causing it? It's mostly one of twins or triplets. Singles are ok..

    Wanted - In-lamb mules

    Due to leasing a new block of grazing and already slightly understocked was looking for some in lamb ewes. North country, Welsh, cheviot or scotch mules shearlings-3crop considered. Preferably Enzovaxed, first time buying anything in-lamb and currently 3 years into a enzovax programme. Many...

    Enzo & Toxo

    Morning - we used to vaccinate with both of the above after having issues with both causes of abortion. We were an indoor lambing system that was relatively intensive, buying in from everywhere, so risk was quite high. We have now switched to outdoor lambing and only buy from one flock (who also...

    Enzo and Heptavac....??

    If that has not grabbed the attention of one or two, I'll be shocked ;) I am due to Heptavac in about 10-14 days, and the prophylactic dose of Alamycin* to deal with any residual Enzo, is due at around the same time. Any potential issues in doing them around the same time, but probs NOT the...

    Rapi injector and sheep

    Wondering how people manage subcutaneous injections using rapid injectors on sheep? Most injections seem to be required under the skin. Even with my newly built race it is a real challenge to hold a ewes head (as they know what is about to happen), lift the skin on the neck, and inject with the...

    SFI Welfare Scheme to Pay Vets to do Health and Welfare Plans?

    How many Vets out there actually know what happens on a mixed beef and sheep farm? There are a few very good Vets that have carried on doing large animals but most of them are like the farmers they serve getting long in the tooth. This looks to be a great money making scheme for the Vets with...

    What should I vaccinate sheep for.

    Hi I come from a farming family who don't vaccinate for anything hoping to get animals to build up own immunity apart from bluetongue the 1st year which was a waste of money and I've married into a family that does vaccinate for a lot off things and now I got my own sheep about 15 charlais ewes...

    Enzootic abortion

    Having a few problems with enzo so wondered if anyone could shed some light on a couple of things. 2 weeks ago 4 year old ewe aborted her 3rd set of twins. Pm showed enzo and nothing else. Ewes were toxo and enzo vaccinated in August 2020, after flockcheck bloods last spring on 6 empty/aborted...

    Abortions in sheep

    Mod note: This thread has been moved from the Tracker thread. I’v still got singles outside and none of them aborted as yet... the twins are a bit comfy on space and I think its because they’ve been scrapping at feed time... all enzo vacc’d but not toxo... 3 aborted now so Vet is gonna have to...

    Empty shearlings at scanning

    Just interested to see what others do with empty shearlings at scanning. Closed flock and started toxo and enzovax this year, my head says to cull any that aren't in lamb, but the cost of the vaccines is a bit offputting. I've got a few nice ewe lambs running on for next year. My shearlings this...

    Semi portable sheep handling

    Looking at finally buying a little handling system but unsure what best value for money would be. Only have 20 ewes at the moment but scope to accomodate 30-40 would be good. At the moment we just use normal hurdles to pen up ewes and lambs and shed off ewes by catching and posting out of the...
