I have a bunch of mule ewe lambs to sell for breeding, just realised they have had a ram lamb running with them, can they be jabbed with Estrumate ( prostaglandin ) and if so what's the dose?
They might be worth more as in lamb?I have a bunch of mule ewe lambs to sell for breeding, just realised they have had a ram lamb running with them, can they be jabbed with Estrumate ( prostaglandin ) and if so what's the dose?
Gathered ewes off the hill last Sunday only to find a neighbour's rogue tup lamb running with them, anyway, got about 30 ewes amongst them that I'd rather were tupped with the moderately expensive tup I'd bought specifically for them.
So, picked up estrumate at the vets this evening was hoping to have a chat with him but he'd already gone when I got there.
Anyway, my main question is since the 30 odd ewes are going to be single sire mated with the tup, will I need to stagger the injections over a few days to make sure they're not all in season on the same day?
Any help greatly appreciated as I'm gonna sort them tomorrow and ideally would have been releasing the tups as well but I'm not sure now what to do.
