Ewe Pregnancy Scanning
In order to get the most accurate scan possible it is of the utmost importance that you scan on the correct date.
Ideally we will scan 85-95 days after the ram is introduced with the ewes. This timing is critical for our scanners to pick up twins.
Sheep Performance Vaccines
For sheep performance vaccine requirements please submit the Sheep Performance Vaccines order form. Please note that Toxovax is made to order due to being a live vaccine. You can use Toxovax anytime up to 4 weeks before mating, which orders need to be placed with the clinic at least 4 weeks in advance to secure your supply. So order at least 8 weeks before you intend to introduce the ram. Toxovax has a 10 day shelf life and is delivered into clinic each Wednesday during the season.
