I just got off the phone with pipestone the gentleman I spoke with asked me what my situation was and I told him ring womb he then asked if I vaccinate with claim dis and vibrio which I had never heard of so I replied no he said that was my problem I made sure to tell him they were all full gestation situations and he insisted it was still the problem but not to vaccinate at this time pull all my remaining ewes in and give them 5cc per hundred pounds body weight sub q la200

From you guys big iron ,Don,Chrystal perspective what protein vs other minerals is your target numbers for ewes last trimester vs the rest of the year I have raised sheep for 30 years in very small numbers more commercial style just started breeding more club style 5 years ago and things seam to be a little different I'm not quite up with it I think you all seam to have a great grasp of what needs to be

Body condition my guess would be 5 they are not fat but not skinny either we try to keep them as close to right in the middle as possible

I am leaning on nutrition both cases the lambs were alive we still lost them the amniotic fluid was clear or as clear as usual we had to c section one ewe and I was a bit long in deciding we had a problem so they were super weak and we lost them the second ewe we were able to message the cervix for about an hour until it was dilated enough to get them threw they were feet and nose first on both second ewe both lambs lungs were full of fluid and I tried everything till I lost pulse to clear them never got them to breath they tried at first but were full I got close to a half pint out of both of them even tried blowing air in just couldn't get them to go

I had an almost identical situation today but my get was available we lost all 3 the ewe and lambs she didn't do well with the drugs they used to sedate her the lambs were alive for 30 minutes but their heart rates were all over the place and finally just passed so I would say you did better than me and it cost me 200.00

We dock within 24 hours if they are strong might wait a few days on weak lamb we castrate same day if we are sure about weathers if possibly a ram until I decide if they are good enough

So if people aren't feeding the correct protein and energy to milking ewes what is the proper percentages to feed them
