You're really having a tough time, you have my sympathies Dave. Had the bull bred your cows for this year?

I hope so !
to be honest I went all sheep and was happy without the cows , Sarah wanted a few calf’s about the place so we bought the four silver Dunn Galloway’s in calf from a mate and bought Alf the bull back as he’s a placid fella and throws easy calving calf’s .I curse the buggers every day , but secretly love them to bits
Sell my sheep and kit and put down a very good deposit and a second house (and pay a lot of tax).

@Wood field what a sad loss, a boy you knew from a baby. Whitbreds are lovely creatures.
If it's any consolation, we've all been there with you. Just keep trudging and soon the clouds will break. Hope wife is home soon and home fires burning again.

What's not to like about cows, except the work. Miss my cows but it's a relief they've gone.

His mother was bought in calf but only one quarter, so we bottled him to top him up
A big gentle lad !
At least we gave him a good life

Why not give yourself 3 months, swt a date, then make a better decision (possibly the same one) when you're not run into the ground.

How about stepping back and having a rest , things may look better if we ever get some good weather.

You can only burn the candle for so long as we get older we just can't do what we used to !
Trouble is I got 1250 to lamb as as 3000 dry hoggs on my own at work, plus 220 ewes and 30 hoggs that I own that are completely separate and have to done at weekends and lunch. I’m hoping work take the land back and we up the ewes by 200 and pay for someone one day a week to help me.

That’s a lot of work on your own , no wonder your peed off !
I took the job on to have more time, ended up with less, so something has to give or I will end up an over worked single bloke if I’m not careful.
So very, very true.
Feeling the years this morning here, but the only upside (at the moment) is that it is not raining..... yet!

I get where you’re coming from, without sounding soft, you come across as a fekin hard worker with a massive knowledge of your job .
You’ve helped me with answers along the way . Have a word with the boss man perhaps

As wood field said above....can't you get in short term lambing help via your boss? You won't like your job if you end up wrecked.
