This past weekend we had the pleasure of working the ewes, checking body condition, udders, and giving them their CD&T vaccination. We like to vaccinate the ewes a few weeks before they start lambing so their lambs will have some passive, temporary immunity when they drink their mother’s colostrum. This temporary immunity lasts for about 6 weeks, giving the lambs a good start.
