    Coughing ewes

    Back beginning of January I noticed that a lot (maybe a quarter of the flock) were coughing. Based on vets' advice I went in and gave the coughing ones Betamox LA in case it was Pasturella and the whole flock Flukiver in case it was lungworm. A fortnight later there was less coughing but still...

    Orf in ewes/lambs

    We’ve ended up getting a lot of trouble with orf on ewes tits. The ewes and jan born lambs are inside and usually stay inside until weaning in late March. Usually we vaccinate lambs against orf at 5 weeks old, but unsure now of the best plan to stop it getting any worse. Any ideas?
