[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 8978496, member: 198"] I can see where you are coming from with the Shetlands. We’ve virtually eliminated footrot by vaccinating against it because it seems to me prevention is better than a cure? If you move sheep, they may be immune to the bacteria where they’ve come from but naive to the bacteria where they move to so vaccination seems an easy fix. Codd is isolate treat and cull, repeat footrot is cull, but it’s unusual not to respond to one treatment with antibiotics , main problem is scald in lambs and I think that is very much down to the year. Last year very little, but this year a pain for them and me! [/QUOTE]
