Lots of variable, but I'd lamb the singles in the rushy fields with the crystalyx buckets, no cake. If the grass runs short silage as well. Save the clean fields for turning out ewes with multiple lambs, and with twins you can still feed them cake in the shed without them chasing you around a...

My old bitch caught the dog (he somehow jumped into her run the bugger). I took her to the vets and they gave her Mismate. A few weeks later she was very unwell, she hadn't cleansed properly from the mismate and it caused a infection. Cost a bomb to put her right. Wish I had been told how much...

Do many of you treat the ewes pre shearing? Not had problems before, but this year had a few ewes too tight to shear getting struck so I'm considering it

Finished 2ha beginning of April. Planted 8 areas on wet/non productive corners of fields, doesn't have to be a whole field. The payment is one off, then a small maintenance payment for 12 years. It's not easy money. Submit your expression of interest but work out all the costings before agreeing...

Top link on BBC news. Reading other new sources on the same headline none of them mention beef. Only BBC. Concerns me http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46582025

That more than helps. Thanks

Anyone used Denis Brinicombes StokBlok lambing buckets? Opinions?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46214864 Near the top of the BBC news app articles this AM. Seeing articles like this too often, in which none of them give the whole picture.

Ewes here weren't doing as they should. Blood tested a couple weeks ago as last year had very low cobalt, but only one out of the six tested slightly low. So then FEC and fluke test. Just had the results, positive for fluke and worm egg count consistent with poor growth. Not had a high worm...

Might not be relatable, but the way I get over part finishing jobs and dealing with the jobs i put off is scheduleing my week. Usually on Monday, will sort jobs into urgent and non urgent but important, then put a day and time I should be doing it

Welsh Blacks do well here. Not the most flattering photos attached but shows a little of what they can do. Cows are outdoor, 1000ft hill until December then down to 800ft with silage due to a glastir closed period on the hill for 90 days. Youngstock and autumn calving heifers are in through the...
