[blackbelly] RE: vaccinations

[Rick Krach]

Chris, let me tell you something about vaccinations and why you have learned 
that "some" (hopefully most) of us do not vaccinate.  If you are raising 
either Barbado or Barbados Blackbelly sheep, or almost any hair breed of 
sheep for that matter, SOME OF US would prefer that you DO NOT EVER 
vaccinate.  You see, we aim for keeping the blackbelly sheep vaccination 
free--not needed.  If lots of breeders do vaccinate or begin vaccinating, 
and the blackbelly breeds become "changed" to the point where they are like 
the wooly breeds, needing vaccinations, then we lose the biggest draw for 
raising the hair sheep.  We raise the blackbelly breeds because they need so 
little care. Help us keep it that way!

I have been receiving this list for a while now, but have never seen =
anyone post anything about how early you can vaccinate a lamb.
I know some of you don't vaccinate at all, but for those who do, how =
soon can you vaccinate a newborn lamb with, oh say a Covexin-8 type
vaccine?  What I want to know is age, or weight, or size, preferably =
age.
Thanks in advance from East Texas.
