    Sold 2 rams this year and fella noticed 1 wasn't working but other was tupping away so he got vet and vet told him the ram had ticks a wile and that they were in blood stream he injected him into vain and left another injection with the fella. Rams were all run together all year and we're dipped 18th august. Anybody encounter this before?

    Advice on this would be greatly appreciated as I now have 4 rams that I don't no whether till fertility test them all @35 a pop or dip everything again.? Rang my vet he says he never heard off it leaving a ram infertile and if it was ticks there would be other symptoms which there isnt.

    No advice sorry. But had a ram last yr that went down with meningitis and vet said could be tick related..cured him first time. Thought id chance him as a spare. Dropped dead 2 months later.

    Think I'm gonna do them all with ivomec then give them a long lasting antibiotic only advice I can find online about it... my oldest ram is out with ewes tipping away so maybe only 1 was infected if he even was my vet says till get a report from the vet that done it before I take ram back.
