I ordered 100 last week and I won’t get it till the 4th October. Heard nothing different yet

Ordered 600 doses three ago, arrived last week.

I was told a while back that there would be no supply in the second half of September, but deliveries either side of that 'should' be unaffected. I had 40 doses for the pedigree lambs at the end of August, as ordered.
I was going to order a bigger batch for the commercial lambs for early October, and was told ordering was OK. Had second thoughts due to the price though, and they will be left to do as shearlings instead, and take a chance on them this year (all other sheep covered). There will be fewer to do as shearlings, after a few of the empties are culled out.

Ordered 40 doses for early October vet emailed me last night might not be able to supply. As @neilo says may have to give them a miss this year as everything else is covered.

Last week I was given a date of 28 September. Not heard anything different yet

Phone message from the vet this morning - my order (for 4th October delivery) is cancelled and no further supplies. Production problems apparently.

Ordered 70 doses two weeks ago . Arrived yesterday and administered today . Only had 2 days left before use by date !

My order put back to mid October at earliest.

Useful. Unless you’re tupping from mid-November, you might as well cancel it until next year?

 

[Bluetrees]

Same story here, ordered 200 doses in August for early October delivery, phonecall today to say cancelled, possibly some available later but don't hold your breath.

Yes, that's the plan. We only started using it last year because we had half a dozen aborted and the vet found toxo. We only vaccinated the shearlings and a few lambs that were tupped, and didn't really have any trouble in any of the flock this spring.

Ordered 200 doses for start of October. Told today that it's not going to happen. Batch failure at the factory in New Zealand. Won't be any this year now.

After looking at this thread I was looking on the internet don’t know if it’s any use to anyone or if it’s any truth to it but come across this from years ago

Anyone heard any updates?

None available this year!!

 

[RMSLLOYD]

Msd are a shower of sh1t. Left us in the lurch in July with sponges also.

We’ve injected our ewe lambs for years because we were having problems. I wonder if its worth keeping them empty this year or take a chance and tup them as usual??

Tup them as usual. Plenty of sheep are bred without ever seeing a vaccine.
