A really nasty ailment in a sheep flock which can cause chaos. Got to identify and treat as early as possible.

Had it here a few years ago, lambs never got it but about half the ewes did. Was a job turning ewes and lambs outside as some couldn’t actually see their lambs. Got fed up with treating them so just left them and seemed to go as fast as it came really.

It went through ours 2 years ago just after lambing. Treated about 200 of 600 ewes but no lambs affected at all.
