We might be going to plan b for vaccinations. We got snow, then rain, then freezing rain, and the the temps dropped below freezing. For the past 2 weekends there has been frozen slush and smooth ice in front of the barn where we vaccinate. It’s too dangerous to bring the sheep into that barn.
Plan b is vaccinating right after they deliver. It’s not the ideal method but since it’s a booster for the pregnant ewes it would boost the antibodies in their milk but after the lambs get the colostrum. Delay in boosting is safer than risking a fall and injury on ice for us, the dogs, or the pregnant ewes.
