i appreciate you big lads probably have to crack on regardless

Best time to do them was yesterday. Next best time tomorrow. Having said that we won't vaccinate if sheep are wet.

Don’t do them wet, whatever your calendar says!

I remember being halfway through jabbing a bunch of 250 ewes & their lambs in late May one year, when a thunderstorm hit. Sheep (and me) were obviously drenched, but I figured I had started the mob so I needed to finish, so carried on after the storm had passed.
I must of had 50% of those lambs develop abscesses at the injection site, something I’d never seen before or since.

I don’t ever jab wet sheep now, delaying by a week is neither here nor there.

OOPs....i thought it meant wet/dithery.....where has innocence gone

I won’t vaccinate whilst wet, manly because there are enough dry days in the year not to need to endure the misery of unnecessary handling wet sheep

Best laugh I've had all day though

Some things are better wet and some things are better dry

never again shall ye confuse the two

They aren’t covered for a bit after the jab anyway so a day or two isn’t going to make a huge difference. We have mixed age mobs so when our young lads are 3 weeks oldest will be 6 anyway.

Yer I really hoped that was a typo and not some kind of guilty admission .....

Did you mean ponce? You don't need to go on the sex offenders' register if you're a just a ponce...

 

[Peckerhead]

+1 for not knowing it meant that!!

In that case, you might be better to double check the meaning of your forum name

Bit like the covid vac, started out at 3 weeks interval then stretched to 12........

Ha ha sadly I fear it's a fitting title!
