[QUOTE="CopperBeech, post: 3863920, member: 8925"] Been going round the one lot of mules and their lambs today, and noticed a couple of lambs off their legs. . . . Seen it last year with same group of ewes, and some of the same tups. Lambs would be a week or so old, up to three weeks maybe, and seem to suddenly lose the ability to walk, mainly go off their back legs, but sometimes all four. No obvious swelling etc, and lambs are bright, and often feeding fine off the ewes, who return to feed them. Over the last two seasons, have tried, metacam, ab's, vits etc, with no real joy. Only probably 10 lambs out of 1800. Got another mob on same farm, maybe 700 mixed breed hoggs, have grazed same ground and lambing within a few hundred yards. Not had the same there, but different ram team. . . . . Reckon its down to one ram? [/QUOTE]
