Just got our first case of blue tongue disease. A four year old who has just given birth to three. I have to look back at my records, but I could have sworn this one was vaccinated last spring. Mind you it does not always seem to work. I had one young one, around 12 weeks that had Blue tongue, and survived. Also survived a Toyota pick up running into it , but thats another story.
Belgium was the worst hit last year, and we happen to live in the worst ' hot spot '. Plenty of damp wet areas with high temps in spring, just the right condition for the little pesky culprit.
Talk here is of a bad year again for this nasty disease.
It would happen to one of the only sheep we havr named. Big Bertha.
