When heptavac-ing the sheep I’ve used Sterimatic caps for years .. now they don’t make the caps anymore, what do you use/do instead.. ?

[Womble]

We just use a standard disposable needle and no stericap.

I just use a normal injector gun and 1/2” 19g needle. To be honest I prefer it as with sterimatic I found it hard to feel when I was in the right place!

[Womble]

Do you not still use the needle guard then, @twizzel ?

[twizzel]

No, just a normal auto injector gun 

[Twotwo]

Do you use a new needle each time or dip them in anything?

When injecting large numbers of sheep  then some sites say  20-25  0r 50  before changing needles

Put a new needle on before I start. Never more than 50 in a group.
