 Udder Health In Dairy Ewes
Watch for any signs of abnormality: uneven udders, "hot" sides, etc. Our ewes are so calm that we can walk up behind them and palpate their udders while they are eating; this is a function of their genetics, compounded by their environment of being in the dairy string.
If the udder is dirty, before the lambs nurse, we will wash the udder with warm water and a mild solution of udder wash. We dry the udder well, and then strip out the first waxy plug in each teat.
Remember that milking a wet udder will dramatically increase the chance of spreading bacteria from the outside of the ewe's udder into her teat canal, and also increase the chance of spreading bacteria from ewe to ewe via the inflations.
