Winning the "Foot Rot" war
Posted: Friday, 23 February 2007 |
The final batch of sheep in the footbath. We found foot rot running amuck in our flock in October and have been battling it ever since. We've vaccinated them against foot rot and given them foot baths about every week since bringing them inside. (We also foot bathed them for four weeks straight back in October.) Their hooves seem to be healthy and happy and maybe, juuust maybe, we've wone the foot rot war!!
I couldn't resist a photo of Magnus the ram. He's such a sook! And he's also a very good ram - most of the Wooly Ladies are having twins and three of them are having triplets! There are only two Wooly Ladies having singles!!! Goooooo MAGNUS!!

Oh happy Magnus!

So...I traded my quiet cabin in the Alaskan woods for the howling winds of Orkney and life on a farm.
