Heptavac question (a different sort to normal)
« on: April 10, 2015, 07:21:10 am »
Going to heptavac the lambs tomorrow but I have a question regarding non breeding adult sheep.

We have a Wether and some old ewes bow retired or going for cull later in the year. Do these need the heptavac?  I don't know anything about the diseases really apart from they can live in the soil. What age group they affect?

Thanks

Yes, all sheep need their vaccinations.

If some leftover than Jab ... agree all sheep need their vac's  but I wouldn't waste money on stock which is  'for the off'

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.
