Quarantine period
The quarantine period for all purchased or returning sheep should be at least three weeks. Some
diseases will require a much longer quarantine period and specific advice should be sought from your vet.
Segregate incoming breeding ewes from the main flock until after lambing to reduce risks from infectious
abortion, and when possible, lamb this group last.
