Turned country file on last night by accident, they were at haweswater reservoir on the rspb farm, the guy running it said they’d decreased the sheep that were there from 3000 to 300!! Due to the damage the sheep had done to the habitat on the hill!!
they’d planted thousands of trees, put the bends back in the river, an left the hill to regrow natural habitat, looked like they were just growing bracken to me! 
Let them crack on, once there's an explosion of ticks an all the wildlife is dead.they come running back with the tail between their legsTurned country file on last night by accident, they were at haweswater reservoir on the rspb farm, the guy running it said they’d decreased the sheep that were there from 3000 to 300!!

The tic explosion
is happeng already .
That’s criminal!!View attachment 1042505People say to me that mule gimmer lambs are going onto better ground.
Got a serious rush problem.
Cows would sort that out
Been on doing a few trials here seeing what’s best we’ve done a lot with mcpa and 24D it’s all worked some cut before some not Agrominist recons we just need mcpa
That’s exactly what the farm wants, 20 sucklers, got the sheds, summer grass (poor grazing) and free straw but not aloud them because of tb.
Keep going with 24d better control imo
We used the mixed one Lupo I think it’s called 24D and mcpa
Yes I do. We buy straights and mix them. Did some last year with straight mcpa and control isn’t as good odd bits coming through Got some cock on with mix four years ago and it’s as clean as a whistle.
Up a fiver in the end of October is better than up a fiver in the first half of June I would say“Lambs £5.87 up on the year”
costs up £15 on the year….
Costs have gone up a lot more than £15 a lamb on last year if you factor in all costs like fuel/ fert/ feed/ Elec/ wages and so forth.“Lambs £5.87 up on the year
costs up £15 on the year
