Yay, I finally finished lambing this morning.
Had to use a shotgun to do it, but still, all finished.

I was away checking my rough hoggs on wintering... there's 1 of them has lambed this week 
It was one I took up after scanning which is clearly marked empty
All going well so no complaints
I think I've now definitely finished

I had an "empty" ewe lamb in a field of feeding ewes at the start of last week. Wouldn't be so bad but 5 of her cohorts scanned in lamb are still hanging on.I was away checking my rough hoggs on wintering... there's 1 of them has lambed this week

I had a ewe marked as twins and double marked to show as being very late... no bag and no belly when I sold my tups and cull ewes 2 week ago, so she went too!

Not a f..k up as such, but went round mob of ewe and month old lambs that are away from home and lo and behold there’s a gimmer standing over 2 lovely fresh lambs this morning
No idea how she managed to slip through the net

Should have been shearing a bunch of very well grown ewe hoggs yesterday but didn't because they got a bit wet, one on its back this morning and just dead when I got there at 6, now that's a prober annoying f**k up.

Marking a batch of twins this afternoon pen set up at 1 end of a 16 acre field, rounded them up quite steadly and as I was joining the pen up, turned round and a ewe had just laid down and was gasping her last. Another 2 pets for the pen.

I penned my lleyn x charollais lambs earlier for vaccinating/ flycovering. One of the largest lambs in the pen turned back and ran into the hurdle right next to me.
It gasped...Had a fit.. Died.

I feel your pain. I extracted a good texel lamb this morning from a wooden slip hurdle around a landlords environmental feature.How do they manage it? It must have jumped up to get its head in there.I penned my lleyn x charollais lambs earlier for vaccinating/ flycovering.
