Schmallenberg this year

[farmer james]

We are about half way through our early lambing ewes, just over 200 lambs born and we have had about 15 deformed lambs, similar to Schmallenberg.
We are based in North Bedfordshire, has any one who is lambing at the minute had any problems?

APHA are offering free testing for Schmallenberg this year. They think it might have a 3-5 year cycle, so they want to know if it’s about. Probably worth speaking to your vet.
