If it's proper coal tar creosote then it would be the same. If I cap any posts I just use flashing tape/flashband. Works well enough.

Just scanned the last lot of sheep, 10% empty. Rest 160%. Scanner reckons SBV Fu:censored:k sheep

I've a set of Heiniger 12v shears. Do everything I need including shearing the odd ones.

There'd be nobody left 😂

That's a great effort. How are the uprights fixed to the ground. Bolted to concrete?

Slightly off topic, but did you build that shed using pallet racking?

I've an old railway line running up the middle of the farm here. Part of it has a rough field joined to it. I winter my ewes on Silage there. Rotate lambs around the bottom half of the farm behind electric and rest the top half of the farm for lambing and early lactation.

I've got some smart hoggsin Rugby atm. Lambing so I can't watch them sold. Auctioneer reckons numbers be well back so hopefully trade stays firm.

I'd have an electric pickup when they become affordable, and when the they can tow 3.5t.

She does everything right but it's still grim. Poor buggers

I've been cursing my sheep for being so slow this past 10 days. Not 25% of the way through numbers wise. Been a blessing in disguise though I guess.

I bloody hope not, I'm getting my last 60 or so away on Monday.
