Fatal fortnight

Ya not wrong

Hows the lamb??

 

[farmerm]

Your not on your own, due weekend, 8 prolapses about the same slipped, but on a good note went in 03.30 and a nice big single sucking away so makes a nice change. Hopefully things are on the turn now.

Certainly not on your own!

Hows the lamb??

Fingers crossed but it's not sounding good, we can only do our best, never easy when you've struggled to keep them alive

I stopped using ring feeder for that reason, lambs play on the bail usually ends in disaster

Morning all. I lambed in January my lambs are due their second dose of heptavac this week. Would have bother with stomach fluke and was going to dose ewes and lambs with levacide diamond. Would this cover the lambs for nematodirus?

Yes, it contains levamisole, which should do for nemo.
