have a bad lamb that looks deformed with a swaying back and a bent back leg. Vet (over the phone ) reckons copper deficiency.
Have had my worst lambing in a long time, low prolificy, felt some of the lambs were slow to get going, 3/4 lambs born with bad legs, some sheep tight to lamb and sheep in poor condition (were getting well fed) and 3 abortions and a lamb born prematurely by about 3 weeks (dead) could all this be attributed to this? all my problems were all in gimmers i bought in (from the same place as my gimmers before) everything was bolused last year, first time ive ever bolused too.
any ideas
