Just wondering if jabbing ewe about 3 weeks before lambing boots the lambs viability? Yes, we do bolus (land short in sel & Col) but assuming that the bolus has run its time/failed/spat out. Is it a worth while exercise? Our lambs are very small at birth but do thrive. Their growth is adequate (grassland issues being addressed this year). If you do jab the ewe how long will the lamb carry the Vit E in their system? I dont intend to keep bringing these lambs in to drench and not overly impressed with bolus the young lambs as many cant be done as very small or born a bit later - so the first lambs could be 2m older that the youngest as there is a gap happening there. I see some use Smartshot for lambs is B12 as a better option than the dreaded bolus?
