Remember the Rams

19/11/2011

0 Comments

 
Today we vaccinated our rams with 6-1 vaccine (we use the one with Vitamin  B12 and selenium) Although the vaccination of the ewes is done 2-3 weeks before lambing, and the lambs at marking,( with a booster 3-4 weeks later), people often forget the rams' annual booster. The vaccine is particularly important to prevent Pulpy Kidney, this occurs on rich pasture and in very good seasons needs a booster in 6 months. It usually affects the fattest lambs. and the dead lamb looks as though it has suffered bloat.
