f**k Up Fortnight

That would be a laugh, wooshing into a sheep field with two bags of feed strapped to your thighs.

They'd still find a way to knock you over..

 

[Jonp]

Yeh they might be a bit skitty the first day you tried it but from then on they'd have their 'whatever' stares as you landed. Then they'd flatten you before you could even unstrap your jet pack. I suppose you could fly over head and put a small slit in the feed bags with your trusty penknife.

Sounds like a scene from Shaun the sheep

It's not a bad idea, when you think about it, imagine a drone with a hopper slung underneath. Could do proper slipper farming from the comfort of your sofa, wouldn't trash the fields either. Now... where's my pencil and drawing pad.

That my friend is why we will never be “ proper farmers “
I think rather than drone we need a chinook

North Wales and NW of England looking awful forecast tomorrow/ Friday

Going by my phone weather we're dry all day tomorrow! I hope so. I need to throw some ewes and lambs out. There's a hogg that had triplets this afternoon - 1 fully cooked but dead - one of her lambs is a bit pink and bare so that will stay in and the one I chased round the field last night loves her lamb and was stamping at me this afternoon but she's a bit sharp so she might stay in. Just got to wonder which field I stick them in!

Back in the day of handballing loads, there used to be a Lampreys of Banbury lorry driver, Les, whose nickname was Rustyshovel.
Because didn't move quickly enough to keep it shiny

Going to have to figure out a way to get feed to the ewes, if this rain carries on, as they look in a sorry state. Would be up to my axles in no time if I used the tractor or truck. Jet ski might get there or a tracked snowmobile! Worst option is to carry a bag for a mile, that'll test my heart out ‍

Would these be any good as a stop gap?

Well I really don’t know what else can go wrong, I am feeling like I’m running on empty, hospital , sheep , sleep repeat
Just done feeds , went to feed cows and the bull is stone cold dead
I really feel like I’ve had enough

Bummer, a shite start to the day... You kind of expect to find a dead sheep, but a beast does tend to knock you back a bit.

No we only have a handful in a shed
He was a pedigree whitbred shorthorn we reared ourselves, from when we were all cows
The way he’s blown up and a bit of prolapse around his anus I am wondering if he’s twisted his gut
Anyway he’s gone now

I’v had enough of my own so much this morning I told me landlord (and boss that iv want out). This wet winter has taken it out of me running own sheep as well as a big flock at work.
