Don’t beat yourself up about it, it’s what they do. I often wonder if some are snuffing it before you buy them? Then we have to work out what they need from a blank page.

A lot of farmers, myself included in early September go through there lambs and anything that looks like it’ll turn its toes at the first hard frost or rainy day get gone...

A week later I was then buying store lambs in... it’s just how it goes... some poor sod buys those shitty arsed none doers thinking they can turn them round but they don’t know what life they’ve already had and that a corn bag is the only thing that will fix them [emoji23]

One of the auctioneers always says that to me. Shift the poor ones and feed the good ones. Never do it. They are all inside on feed.

Its is when you double drench 200 hoggs with it like I did on Sunday, I was on cydectin trilomox all day on Saturday so automatically set the gun to 10ml, should have been on 5ml, it dawned on me yesterday when I was drenching some ewes! :banghead:
Good job it wasnt yellow drench. I once double drenched 8 bad doers , within 2 mins they were skiping and lying down and trembling as it afects their nervous system. 4 died. Harsh lesson
