Hi all,
I know that it is recommended to give Hep P Plus shot to ewes 4 to 6 weeks pre lambing. Just want to check my dates. Rams went out on the 26th of October so in theory ewes could start lambing from the 20th of March for first few lambers anyway.

With that in mind and allowing for only being able to inject them on a weekend I was looking at the calendar and reckoned that Saturday week the 21st of February would be best day to do them.As realistically first ewes due would be a month from lambing and majority would be 5 or 6 weeks from lambing. The ewes were scanned and scanner felt they were going to lamb in a compact time period.

So have I my dates right?,
Thanks for any replies folks.
