[QUOTE="Obi Wan, post: 5843980, member: 90094"] Thanks neilo, I was sort of hoping it would settle down with time but last year it just got worse. We've also bought in 60 gimmers so I'm not wanting to risk them. It was a real kick in the nuts after all the prep work to have lambs and ewes plagued with it during the beast from the east saga. We normally have the odd ewe with a small spot/pock but the past few years it played up with buying in gimmers. Hopefully after a few years of self replacements and cautionary treatment the flock with be back to a good level of natural immunity. I'll look up the buckets you've mentioned and see if there's any suppliers up here. The old pallets will be burnt asap, the hurdles are galvanised - they've been outside since May so hope the long sunny days may have helped remove some of the virus. As you've used scabivax before - when's the best time to cover the ewes ? I'd really like to avoid the bother they had last year if possible. [/QUOTE]
