Title: update on lambs with orfe
Post by: trish.farm on March 26, 2015, 04:49:07 pm
so a week ago I was in major panic mode on here, spluttering about my poor wee lambies with orfe, how they had caught it, what to do, what not to do!!

Well I did nothing apart from remove the licks from the paddock to try and prevent contamination, and wear a pair of gloves when checking and feeding the ewes.  Now have a cupboard full of every potion claiming to treat orfe!!

Just had a good look round all 17 lambs, not a mark on any of them!!!  Surely it doesn't clear up that quickly?!! 

Result!!!!!   :excited:
