Sheep Farming: How We Vaccinate Pregnant Sheep

[@susanmarsh4351]

Love the vacc done this way. The old way via the underarm was laborious. Love the gathering tub leading into a circle to enter the chute (race). We were the first in our area to build one as part of updated outdoor sheep management yards. Drew lots of interest. Had farmers field days etc based on outdoor working practices, more ergonomic, body friendly equipment etc. Also making it work efficiently and effectively for a single operator.

Yes, chutes are critical if you have sheep and having a loading tub makes it all that more easy to do. Never liked vaccinating in the armpit - not only difficult to do and awkward but also if a lump formed it could rub and cause them to limp.
