jills dying

[Andrew Beirne 78]

have a question any information would help do jills actually die if they are not bred from

[Guest norseman]

no its not gospel, but i wouldnt risk it. better safe than sorry

[bobby blackheart 1,209]

pay for the jab

[sam4530s 37]

if they are left in season in dirty conditions they can get infections in the womb and die , by breeding her it brings her out of season .

[The one 8,396]

no but they look rough as feck at the end of the summer

The jab only cost me about 4 quid :-)

And with jills coming into season 3/4 times a year repeated use of the jill jab can also cause problems

:yes:

Some will die, some won't.

 

They shouldn't need more than 2 jabs a year but normally one is enough.

Get them spayed and theyre sorted for life. Much cheaper in long run also.

Mine had one jab at the start of last season and never came in again.

But if they turn out cracking workers and you want to breed replacements from them a few years down the line ? you cant sew the bits back on every methord has its drawbacks

I agree with the one, keep your Jill's whole, and use a vacetomied Hob.

Then if your Jill's turn oot good uns, and you do need a replacement, then you just need to find a good Hob.
