[Jacob-list] Vaccinations

[Leigh Nelson]

Typically I try to follow the pattern of vaccinating the ewes two weeks
before lambing and then doing the lambs again at a month old.  Last
weekend I had planned to start vaccinating my ewes with Glanvax-6.  Since
I hadn't used it since last year I didn't know that it had expired in May
2007.  I phoned the sheep store and they will only be getting any
vaccinations stuff in April (maybe), apparently Glanvax-6 is
discontinued.  I live in Canada so it's hard to get sheep medicine. 
Option 1 I could use the expired stuff, since it's probably still good
but not as powerfull.  Option 2 Wait until I can get something else, and
by then the ewes will have lambed.  Any advice on what I should do?

Thanks,
Leigh
