Muck out, scrape with shovel, Disinfect between each ewe in individual pens.

Group pens straw added each day. They are only brought in a few days before lambing though.

Seemed to work last year (first year lambing at home)- had no cases of joint I'll or watery mouth.

I would have always had a couple of tail infections and navel infection as well as 3 or 4 with joint this year only one problem with a tail so touch wood the white lime is working
