I’m thinking of getting rid of mules and getting shedders, at least then I won’t have the biggest best sheep looking sheep in the flesh house. 😜. Why do everyone else’s sheep look like you would be glad to see them dead but mine look nice fit sheep. 🙄

Because you bought 80t of ewe rolls to feed before they died?🤷‍♂️

Christ this year…..had a ewe have twins on Thursday all fine…moved them at weekend - came this morning and she’s pushed her uterus out- has anyone had that happen that long after lambing?
Yes but only once, led on her lambs in the middle of the field and pushed her uterus out.

Think she'd had an infection

Yes I’ve had 4 do it this year. Neither me nor the vet can nail down the cause

Yeah she will have an infection. We seem to get them since we started lambing outside I've stitched 3 this year. They must pick a dirty corner to lamb in or something. Don't ever remember getting more than the odd one every few years when lambing inside though.
