So it works out at £2.52 per sheep across 1000 sheep.
£2520 investment in the flock but after the amount we've spent on antibiotics and all the extra work dealing with lame sheep I think it's worth it!
Let me know if you have used Footvax before and how you got on.

ABOUT ME
I’m 33 years old and I’m a sheep farmer from Ayrshire in South West Scotland, which is why I have such a strong accent! I was born and raised on a sheep farm watching my dad who was the shepherd.
At 18 I went away from farming to work in the city (something I still do) and at 23 (2013) I decided I wanted to do something for some extra money so I went on a sheep shearing course. The hardest thing I’ll ever do was learning to shear sheep. [shudders thinking about it]
I shore whilst on my holidays from work for 2 years and then in 2015 my dad died so I decided to get my own sheep so I could continue working with sheep as it was something I loved doing. From there it escalated quickly from my first 4 sheep in my mum’s garden to now running around 850 breeding ewes.
I shore over 19,000 sheep this season in the UK and have my own shearing run which lets you see many different farms in the summer months.
A few years ago I bought myself a sheep pregnancy scanner and have been building up my run since then.
I watched a few farm vlogs on KZfaq and decided I could have a go and now here we are!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.

I am a big fan of Lizzie. She works with you building and maintaining the flock, and a mother of two boys, a decision maker when needed, shearer at home and in competition. This is just a few observations of how important she is, Cammy. In your busy life, don’t forget to praise her, let her know you value her, and want her to be happy.

Mixed thoughts on Footvax but we used to do all the tups twice a year once they are on the programme and Suffolk ewes annually (as they have a reputation for greater susceptibility to footrot bacteria). We did not do all the commercial flock for expense reasons. We did cull any adult sheep once they had had it three times ASAP - this had, in our opinion, the greatest beneficial and financial effect as it reduced the amount of infection on pasture and less overall infection amongst other sheep in the flock. Your Sheep flock records should be a big help here to identify repeat offenders. Remember that this vaccine does not help at all for prevention or treatment of scald. Speaking about which your sheep footbathing facilities, at home at least, need radical improvement - see the "5 point plan" to best foot bathing sheep practice. Dan

@TheSheepGame 8 ай бұрын

Cheers Dan. Our biggest issue is foot rot particularly in winter when it’s difficult to footbath sheep at wintering. Totally agree we’re just covering up the problem not fixing it. Lizzy’s system won’t be on footvax just using a hard cull policy to breed better quality stock.

@S_Eglington 8 ай бұрын

The second group of sheep I ever bought had just been footvaxed. The flock was run on watermeadows and was having a few problems with the wet weather. I still had enough problems with them for Easycare sheep on dryer ground and they nearly all had absceses from the vacination site. I haven't used it myself, that was enough to put me off. I hope it works out better for you.

Great video, in particular I liked when the sheep came out of the side lane into where the person on the bicycle had been riding. I had a thought about the timing, and if the sheep had been a tiny bit earlier or the bicyclist later what would have transpired. Do bike riders stop? Do the sheep ever knock someone down? I'm thinking it could be tricky for the dogs if the sheep started to turn the other way, since the dogs are not only behind them but not where they can go around and steer them loke they do going through gates in a big open field. Love that you have the shade cover! As well as give the sheep time to rest and catch their breath. Nice you got a chance to shear off that fly strike!

Vaccinate when sheep are dry and change needles often, you shave few abscesses and only normal vaccine reaction. For vaccine to work properly you need to vaccinate ewes twice at start and vaccinate replacements twice. Then you will have no footrot.
