Sorry, no photos of the actual deed because my hands were thoroughly full, but we've now given all the sheep their first dose of Heptavac. This will protect them against clostridial diseases and pasturerellosis -- so fingers crossed no more random unexpected deaths out of the blue...
They'll need another dose in 4-6 weeks, by which point they will all have been shorn and will be thoroughly fed up with being handled by us so it might be harder to get them penned 2nd time around but it should be easier to dose them as half the battle this morning was trying to find the skin under their wool so I knew where to put the needle!
I will say though that the more sheep you have, the easier they are to herd/pen.
