its difficult to work out how much the disease is moving.. as its a EC rule thingy that the vax cannot be given unless you are in a protection zone.. so they are extending the protection zones....

we have already ordered our vax from the vet.. but have to buy more than we need.. they sell in 10ml quantities and we need 4ml...but this seems very wasteful to me.. are trying to make arrangements to share..

We can only get 20ml or 50ml (20 or 50 dose) bottles at the vets where I work - are they selling 10ml bottles as well?

If anyone has some they cant use i will gladly busy some off you.

The problem we have is you need to be registred with a vet and the vet would have had to have seen your sheep within 6 months prior to giving the vaccine - we have never needed a vet

no problems like that with us, we have been registered with the vets all along, but not needed them to come and see them.. we spoke to them on the phone... thats all.
