I think what happens is the milk goes off them a touch with the cold the lambs need more so they are on top of the ewes and then there’s the draft then bingo

Where’s that picture of the sad fella on the swing when no one wants too talk about sheep?
That’ll be me in 30 minutes. Been summoned too a family party at Aunt and Uncles. Must be serious, mother has told me “YOU WILL SHOW UP AND IT WILL BE FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES!”

Not according to a useless vet I ones talked to. She said that was a stupid theory , It would be down to dirty sheds even though these ewes had never come in. Also never heard of ewes dieing of mastitis.
Do that just before you go and they won’t even let you in.

Likewise cousins daughter married next weekend wife didnt even ask when invite came she going with her mateMeant to be at her cousins wedding next weekend in Cornwall, f**k that still be lambing.
If it’s the same wedding we could have both gone and talked about sheep all night. A friend of mine (girl) says Iv only got 3 conversations farming, good times Iv had out when drinking and girls Iv shagged (tried to). None of these are very suitable of wedding small talk.
