[Jacob-list] AGM, Those hauling sheep

[gotothewhip at aol.com]

Hi everyone!  I am going to attend AGM this year, and while original plans were to take a few sheep to show... While most of those that broke out with soremouth are healing or healed up, we still have soremouth scabs on the ears of those we vaccinated, and I am not going to haul them cross country and chance infecting another flock.... Thats how we got it, was from a vaccinated lamb (in the ear) that dropped its scab... I was not told the lamb was vaccinated....24 years, and never had soremouth.. sigh.. Even the Old ram and ANCIENT ewe (17yr old ewe, Sherack Delilah a 1994 model) got it!  They are all healing well, and everyone stayed on feed.. But that was NO FUN, and not something I want to be responsible for passing on!

Anyhow....I am looking at flying to AGM this year if I can find a ride for a ram lamb I will be purchasing.

I live just outside of Denver, and can pick up within a few hours...

So..Am I enroute for anyone?
