[QUOTE="Kingcustard, post: 7922996, member: 90692"] I must admit Suffolks are the main offenders but the only Suffolks on the place now are NZs from Easyram. The easycare flock are coming up to their 3rd lambing and haven't spoked a lamb in the pure bred ones but had a few dozy lambs out if the NZ Suffolks over the easycare ewes, mainly hard lambing as I put the NZ Suffolks on some gimmers by mistake and the lambs were big. Do you think the energy is the main factor in getting a lamb to sook rather than any of the vitamins, I used to just jag non sookers with Combi it and reckoned it worked but its not available now. Last year on the mule flock lambing indoors I just gave anything I thought hadn't sooked in the first hour a squirt of Osmonds Insta life but then ran out and so didn't bother. I always have gallons of Ketosaid around. Anything I catch to do feet or put a prolapse in gets a dose in the run up to lambing, I often fancy dosing myself when I'm in 1 hours sleep a day but have resisted so far haha. I am always happy to spend money on sheep if I think it will be beneficial but it's hard to know what helps and what is a gimmick nowadays with actually speaking directly to people who have tried the products.
