Heptavac P before lambing?

DJ98 · 2017-02-03 20:13:20

Ewes here recieved their first ever shot of heptavac p in september and then got the booster 6 weeks later, would they need to be vaccinated now again prior to lambing or what do you do?

Yes, to give immunity in the colostrum to the lamb, between four and six weeks from lambing
