Well, I vaccinated all of the sheep this afternoon. I needed to get the ewes done in preparation of them lambing. Cash did a very good job of holding them in place so that I could catch and vaccinate each one. I am learning that I need to let him help me with some of the chores as someone will some day need to take over for Jag. Perish the thought. But Jag did turn 9 in October.
Jag then helped me vaccinate the yearlings. They would not come near me in the corner of the fence so we ended up putting them in the building and I used a hog panel as kind of a squeeze gate. Once I was done with them I realized that Lucky has a cloudy eye. I now need to separate her tomorrow and isolate her. I will need to get some AB to give her to help clear it up. Good thing I'll be by a Fleet Farm tomorrow.
So, the ewes are all set to start lambing the beginning of April. Now we just wait to see what they have.
