sooner lamb my own outside , and take the losses ,than bring unknown issues on to farm . Nothing beats seeing a new life on a warm morning .

my landlord grows buck wheat autumn sown with his OSR , looking good crops last few years , does that work on keeping the FB down ?,

Pity they used a similar name , the assumption is they are another trading arm of MVF , like Bridgemans , Nichols etc , a different name would have made a clear distinction, I understand prob why they did it but could be tarred with same brush if all goes south with other firm

are culls rising ? see a few high prices about , have a few to sell or hang on a few weeks mid may for festival in june

I took some store ram lambs to sedge sat , recon they were £10 /hd back on week before

only reason i would vax now is to cover selling lambs as breeders in first year ,but even then after weaning (so you dont get an outbreak around sale day)

thanks all good suppliers noted above , was just one of those days we had sheep ready to vax , had vaccine in fridge at home but wrong amounts , needed a 50ml to finish numbers without opening a 100ml , (good video online about keeping opened bottles in fridge and how it goes off very quickly)...

uses some french southdowns that are bigger than the uk versions , very good sheep , been tempted by a few females a couple times ive seen them at sales

as above southdown , charollais is dishley leicester x southdown , ie Bakewell x Ellman probably two of the foremost breeders right back in mid - late 1700s , that had influence in many european breeds of today , many the best breeds go back to one or the other or both .

about half price ! thats vecoxin price per litre ,

,My neighbours, Osbornes stone easton (somerset) has a few (or they did ) , very old flock, pm me if you want a number
