Won’t work in the shed - they just charge about and smash up the bucket. If the lamb is reasonably strong let them out somewhere nearby and sometime in the next 24 hours you’ll notice her letting them both suck.

Check their navels. Had a few infected here this year & they just look down of themselves.

Took the original to skin and put a dead one in its place to see what would happen - moved 20 yards down the field & it’s back was the entry point this time.

Would be foxes about. Less likely to be a badger around here.

What few teeth marks I could see were small and at the very top of the neck. Wasn’t long dead, but cold all the same.

Any ideas here. Lambed him at 6 - single, perfect and well mothered. Found this at 9. Eyes, guts, back end not touched. Never had one like it.

Fair enough. Content aside, the Windsor Framework fell in their favour better than most thought it would - could the general strength of support for it everywhere else be fostering some doubt within the DUP. They can’t all be 100% aligned with Bryson/Jim Allister etc

In fairness to them, sticking to their principles got an improved deal that nobody really thought would happen, but surely there are some within the DUP at this stage thinking ‘are we doing ourselves more harm than good here’

Westminster governments usually have bigger fish to fry than NI. Each were fairly genuine in negotiating the best deal they could with the EU I’d imagine. Probably fairly frustrating that none of them got close to something the DUP would accept.

Think it’s 100km. Some NI renderers were taking southern stuff before it. All but wiped that out. Anyone thinking of pricing too far ahead of ABP now gets the threat of a yard full of byproducts not being lifted. Potentially the most damaging change to legislation Irish agriculture has faced in...

Anyone going with nothing pre lambing? And hit the lambs with a first dose at 3-4 weeks of Heptavac or Covexin?

All forequarter stuff isn’t it? They don’t like the big veins in the hind quarter.

Is that not generally just a statement of fact? No harm in making some sort of admission early on that agriculture isn’t perfect, just to keep someone whose been bombarded with an anti farming narrative reading, to the point they see and understand some of the positives. You set out your stall...

Could Jeffrey Donaldson have survived the flack from Allister/Bryson and some elements of his own party if he did take up Deputy First Minister position? Strikes me as a democrat at heart - probably gave it some thought. I’d speculate inwardly he’s not mad keen on his current alignment with...

Wasn’t in their manifesto that they wouldn’t take their seats re the protocol. Wasn’t in any of their campaign literature. To start with the message “we know the issue and we’re not going to take our seats” would be dangerously close to Sinn Féin’s approach to Westminster - too much so for any...
