Busy 2 days on the farm for my wife (while I'm at my day job). After my last post 2 more lambs died having similar symptoms to one that died earlier. We suspect tetanus. Yesterday and today all the lambs are being inoculated with tetanus anti-toxin and vaccinated (procedure recommend by our friend a large/small animal vet). This involves catching each of the 106 lambs (they can be quite fast), injecting each twice (one shot in each back leg), recording the ear tag number, and marking the lamb with a color crayon. In the beginning this is easy since all need to be caught. Towards the end it get more difficult since you must catch the ones out of the 106 that are not marked.
