[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 7107579, member: 83588"] Are you registered with a Vet yet? They can fine tune what you need admin-wise. What everyone else says about the auction. Try to follow the pattern of the auction, and see if you can pick up the flow of it. It is worth rehearsing to yourself as the lots that you aren't interested in are sold, and trying to value the next. When picking a pen, do talk to the vendor. You need to know the system the lambs are from, health status of the flock, including when last wormed and fluked, and whether vaccinated against clostridial diseases. Ask about hoof health. Don't presume an organic flock is free from worm or foot problems, or free from toxoplasmosis or enzootic abortion. Ask them as well about health, and whether they vaccinate, and be prepared to vaccinate your purchases.
