Lamb in turn eyelids

[will6910]

Thanks all, I had some old tubes of cream but were out of date 3 years ago. Haven’t had a any with it since then. Have ewes still plagued with pink eye so don’t know if that’s a side issue or connected but it’s all making for a fun lambing

That's why i pinch them, the only problem is when they leave your place they have very high expectations that my records are going to be as good, they're usually disappointed

When they look in my medicine book/store they think I've gone organic.

They used to think that when I ran a conventional arable farm 1 can of roundup and 1 fungicide in a 20ft container

The fruits of Texel inbreeding.

I was going to suggest shipping the Texel tup while the cull trade is good.

It’s not so much inbreeding, as the lack of culling it out in pedigree flocks.
Too many just treat it by rolling it out/jabbing, then carry on as normal. If I ever get one it gets an ear notch for definite culling, however good a lamb it is. It’s caused by a recessive gene and there’s absolutely no excuse for not culling it out.

You can get small metal clips that pinch the eyelid and stop it from rolling back up.its far better than fannying about with a needle.as the lamb grows they just fall off, job done[emoji106]

If they are leaving me to go to you it'll be alright I'll have them well softened for you. Not the first time one pulled into a layby for quiet weep after leaving here. Don't know what that says about me?

That's how i learnt to do it one jab and done, no faf

Catch them with it early like day old, rub the eyelid downwards and it rolls out and sorts itself out. Some are more persistent problems but keep at them and they usually right themselves.

I do this too & works most of the time
