Looks like one of my pet lambs has got orf, took me by surprise to be honest saw it this morning and just had a little spot of blood so put some iodine on it.
Came back tonight to feed them and it seems to have got out of control very quickly.

Been using weak dettol / water solution for orf and other cuts, help after maggots etc.
Apparently canasten comby works for orf and ring worm.
Used to take one of those black orfode pills on old boys advice, never got orf, 1 year got it really bad, went to doctors and took pills and purple spray that had been using, gave doc good laugh, he said dettol or thrush cream or sudo cream.
Knew a lad who got orf up his nose, good job it was only place he stuck his finger.

Get salt licks in the fields, it helps stop them getting it bad and transferring to the udder. Just put some out here, lambs already licking them. Had it last year on my hand, a very large blister. Blue spray 
Your more patient than me, I’ve been weaning at 5ish weeks
Not patient just lazy.
Bloody wonderful stuff...A quick spray with Osmonds Bactakil 55 (which I’m pretty sure has formalin in it too) will sort athletes foot, as it does orf.
Never come across it until 4-5 years ago, now there is ALWAYS a bottle handy for treatment of well, just about everything.
She would have been the one with @neilo 's patent remedy, spray bottle at the ready.... "Now dear, this will hurt you more than me...!I had orf on my stomach a couple of years ago, if it had been 6 inch lower then it would have been a hard conversation with the mrs.
That will be Herself.....!!

Would have been ok as long as you noticed before it spread to her lips ...I had orf on my stomach a couple of years ago, if it had been 6 inch lower then it would have been a hard conversation with the mrs.

Last 5 left to lamb and had to get a ceasarian done this morning. Big lamb coming backwards stuck at the hips. Lamb dead ewe OK. And now the mains electric fence won't work looks like a problem with the energiser..

My poor pet lamb is ailing,I had orf on my stomach a couple of years ago, if it had been 6 inch lower then it would have been a hard conversation with the mrs.
With an ulcer on its nose,
I thought it was my failing,
So blue spray - it got a dose.
The spray does tend to linger,
When your aim is not the best,
I got some on my finger,
Then some spread onto my chest.
It moved down to my stomach,
Where will it be next week?
I was completely flummoxed,
And scared to take a leak.
Then just as I had feared,
Right on the very end,
An ulcer soon appeared,
That no cream would ever mend.
I tried to hide it from my wife,
When I went for a shower,
She'd never seen such in her life,
As it spread like a flower.
What's that thing growing at the tip?
What are you going to do?
I've got a sore bit on my lip,
I hope it's not from you.
Oh no I said, it's from my pet,
They gave me such a kiss,
Oh did they now, then I can bet,
That you can take the p**s.
So if an ulcer looks so bright,
Just tell her it was Jackie,
And everything will be alright,
As she's my favourite Blackie.

Finished this morning. A triplet which turned out to be a quad, with 3 lively lambs, and one d., deformed one. Hind legs locked, and something strange about the head. The last single had too large a lamb to twin on to, so there's going to be another triplet couple turned out in the (thankfully small, £
) creep group.
) creep group.
I think next Monday I am going to be lambing, shearing and mowing for silage on the same day. I think I need some staff.

We started April 1st and still got 3 left. I suppose the f**k up was not taking the tups out before scanning
