Vaccinating Ewes Prior To Having Lambs

[@melaniebrooke01]

I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos. When you call Maisie she just runs over straight away which is sooo sweet. The little orphan lamb I have a soft spot for. He looks cosy in his jumper. If I was there I'd spend all day in his pen giving him lots of love. Until tomorrow xx

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, it is so hard not to fall in love with them!❤

[@annandrickpettit9045]

Great job with the sped up vaccination sequence. That was delightful! I especially liked the tiny instant of Arnie waving his arms in triple time to get the sheep to move into the catch pen. Thanks for another great video, and for caring so much about your livestock. It is heartwarming, and inspiring to see all those contented moms, and their exhuberant lambies.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thank you for your nice comments! We appreciate it 🥰

[@scootytamra]

Arnie the feeders against the wall all look amazing! It finishes the jugs beautifully! Professional job!!!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thanks so much!

[@scootytamra]

I remember when Hunchy was a lamb herself, so to see her grown and raising her own lamb is a treat! I always am excited to see from begining to them having lambs on up!🥰

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, it's too bad this happened to her 😢

[@scootytamra]

@@EwetopiaFarms Do you think it would happen to her again if you were to breed her? or will you retire her?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

It is too risky to do again. We will try find a non-breeding home for her if we can

[@scootytamra]

@@EwetopiaFarmsI wondered if they prolapse once if they would again? I'm sure someone would love to have her as a pet! If i could have sheep again they would be a pet! At least you have a nice Glad son from her you can keep if he meets your breeding standards!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, it is likely to happen again. Sheep that prolapse are culls because they will likely do it again and there can be a genetic component too​@scootytamra

[@alisoncummins2726]

When Cammy’s trying to get a ewe to adopt an older lamb he ties up the lamb’s feet as well as rubbing it with fluids so that it behaves more like a newborn. Lambing seems to be going at a slightly slower pace than previous seasons when the jugs would be at capacity and you didn’t have anywhere to move them. Or is that still happening, you’re just less worried about it because you have good feeders on the wall side now? Lynn, I like your new glasses!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

This year we staggered the groups more to avoid backlogs and overwork

Hello my friends i could scoop up those lambs and love them all day so sweet.Arnie good job at filming maybe you could start you a channel on your iron works.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Maybe one day

[@patriciaruppert201]

Good morning Arnie and Lynn. Happy happy lambs bouncing and jumping. Love the little sweater on that baby. Came in handy. The new feeders are so great. Will make all the pens comfy for both mom and lambs. Ben certainly is a shadow for Arnie. Love how Maizey responds when you call. Cuteness overload. Awww. Little mister is such a lovable boy. Shot time girls. Getting ready for your babies. Angel gets the blue ribbon for the barn🥰🥰. The girls are talking a lot today. Those Suffolk lambs are really growing and so cute. They are loving their yummies in the creep area. Enjoy an evening fire and snuggle. Big big hugs to you both. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😉😉❤️❤️❤️

[@charbipes-kuechle7521]

Another nice crop of lambs! Thanks for sharing the adventures.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thanks for joining us!🙂

[@KS-ip5xn]

Is it my imagination or can you guess (at birth) the Glad lambs from the Knockout lambs by their coloring? Edit to add- the triplet ram lamb in the sweater you called Little Mr would also do well as "Maverick" which means independent man.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Coloring and/or bone density

[@sunsetstella8917]

All she sheep look great

[@bohammarberg4072]

Good morning! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Good morning!

[@pathowes32]

another great video. Thank you both

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Our pleasure!

[@HorseMalone]

The perfect name for the Suffolk ram lamb who's mum prolapsed would be Zebedee. It comes from a 1970 children's TV programme in the UK and the character just bounced about continuously like the little lamb. boing, boing, boing.

[@chrismuller7252]

Love the lamb & his little jacket! I see a name request coming!!!!!😂

[@EwetopiaFarms]

So far, I've been calling him Mister

[@debwoods6011]

See yall tomorrow.

[@JABn4e]

The two of you sure know how to get ‘er done. The Suffolk lambs noses go black pretty fast. Seems like a month or less. Hunchie’s lamb is so hoppy😂 Did a double take with Arnie’s “coke head,” comment. So so funny.😂😂😂 THANK YOU!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

All the lambs will be snorting creep soon!😆🤣🤣🤣

[@bettydexter1016]

Do you need anymore little sweater for lambs. I would be glad to send you some. Also Question: How long does it take when the little tail falls off. Indiana is in a heat wave, rain that bitter cold is gone, for now. Be safe my friends. I too would help take care of Macey and little Mister. Love you guys. ❤

[@EwetopiaFarms]

We always hope that we never need to put a lamb in a sweater however, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Those handmade sweaters are so much nicer than the bought ones. So, it is totally up to you but help is always very much appreciated 🥰

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, that little sweater works really well on him and is warm and comfy - not to mention how handsome he looks in it!😆 Take care 🥰🥰🥰

[@justinanovak8040]

Hope everyone was able to stay warm thru the bitter cold. We have warmed up now…. And lost the snow we did have. Lynn you all now look more wintery than us.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, it was actually supposed to warm up today but it feels really cold plus it snowed again!🥶

[@cindyboard7816]

The little orphaned lamb is such a sweet little guy!! His sweater fits him perfectly and makes him that much more adorable if that's possible!❤ Hunchy's lamb is a gorgeous boy!! I thought of another boy name. Magnus in Latin means "greatest". Thought that might be a good one for your list. Although, Maestro might still be my favorite. Thanks so much for sharing. Stay safe!!!🙏❤

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Love both those names!

[@Mary-F]

Lynn and Arnie, the lambs in the coveralls are looking fantastic. All solidly built and robust, evidence the ewes are doing their jobs in raising them. 🐑 Little Mister looks adorable in the sweater- and that it fits! I was a bit worried when I knitted them because I was guessing sizes, lol. 💛 I hope everything goes well for little Hunchie. She’s a sweetie. 🐑 Wow you both did a great jobs with vaccinations. Slow and methodical so the ewes don’t get stressed. Other farmers should take note! 🥰

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, it fits him perfectly and it is warm and cozy 🥰 I think the other lambs are jealous 😆 I can't thank you enough for them ❤️

[@Mary-F]

Glad I could help in a small way. The lambs are precious at this stage ❤️

[@annandrickpettit9045]

Good job Mary F. Nice sweater!

All HE sheep look great and handsomely strong if you leave there 2 little friends alone.

[@davilynwentzel9551]

The little Mister lamb just looks so lonely and I want to come and hold him, pet him, feed him, and let him cuddle and snuggle up against me and nap. 😉 Poor little one all alone in a pen. Hope he finds friends soon.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Don't worry, we are here, and as we speak, he's in a pen with other lambs and ewes now too

Are you using glanvac6? What subcutaneous site are you using? I use below and behind the ear but i find it leaves a lump sometimes😬

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, we use Glanvac6. Usually around the shoulders. Sometimes it leaves a lump. Our shearers told us they can always tell who vaccinate and who doesn't by the lumps!😆

[@Shadowridgeacres]

@@EwetopiaFarms I used to use tasvax and it left bigger lumps😬I have my next group to vaccinate next week, I might try the shoulder😉
