So I'm relatively new to keeping sheep, only had them for a couple of years and lambing our first homebred lambs this year. I wanted a kind of schedule on what gets done and when as I feel like we've muddled through and things have been a bit last minute this year so I've conjured up my own kind of plan as it would cost hundreds at the vets (we are registered etc) but I couldn't justify spending that much on a proper health plan so I was wondering what people think of the one I've attached
Its just a bit of an attempt at the research and experience I have so far !
I've based it on our experiences from the past couple of years such as experiencing strike in may and late september so now include options if at risk, the lamb worming was based on current vet advice this year etc etc
Hoping to get some pedigree stock this year so want to make sure we're on top of everything and have a clear plan first !
As i work in a lab as a job and have experience of cell counting etc I'm hoping to do my own FEC's allowing a more tailoring and individual assessment if needed.
Any improvements or feedback would be greatly received ! One of my uncertainties is footbathing as we've not done it yet so don't know how to include it as a management kind of thing ??
