Prior to arriving on your property the rams are up to date with their animal health programme. 

Rams all get a Cydectin long acting injection in November, plus all rams receive a Covexin 10 vaccine. 

(It is also a good idea to vaccinate all your older rams with a Covexin each year at this time...it is a good vaccine thats covers a wider range of disease than regular 5 in 1 clostridial vaccines do not).

Rams have all been vet tested prior to sale, and are accredited brucellosis free.

The following is a guideline for after purchase care

• Upon arrival a treatment for fly control may be necessary. Then you can go on holiday !
• Keep your recently purchased rams separate from older rams until after their first season.
• From the time of arrival provide preferential feeding as they are young and still growing out.
• One month prior to mating flush them on good quality feed. Looking after young rams in their first season is a cheap investment over that ram's lifetime of use.
• Older Rams should be shorn at least 2 months prior to mating. Ram performance and semen quality can be affected otherwise.
• Your ram flock needs on-going care, especially when the rams come out from ewes after mating. Ensure you have a good feeding, drench and vaccinating (covexin) programme for your ram mob.
