Start of lambing was soul destroying with abortions and pulling dead lambs out of ewes but it then settled down to be a relatively good lambing with no watery mouth or joint ill etc..May have been brushed by SBV🤷 Almost up to weaning and started loosing alot of the smaller lambs. Our old friend...

£10 for 25kg bag. More bags you buy the cheaper they get (only pence)

My daughter would have torn his eyes out after having given his hearing a good battering. Nothing more contemptible than a bully.

Sustainable is another. Is a sustainable farm one that can make a profit? or a farm that someone else can make a profit from? Methinks they mean the latter.

Even easier and more deniable to cut undersea cables.

You should get a good dousing in the next few days ( if you gamble on the forecast being even vaguely accurate). Does look dry.

Lucky you, I'm hoping to have a long weekend visit to France soon to visit an old friend. She lives somewhere in the south so I'm hoping for some sunshine and good food. Love the French, they're so forgiving with my rudimentary attempts at their language 😃

Yes its last gasp today. Don't mind a bit of rain, but not the continuous miserableness like last year, it's the dark nights and the cold I'm not so keen on.

Till tomorrow and into next week⛈️

Mine can lambs inside or outside, it's up to them, 2 out of 140 had a go, the rest stayed in the dry shed next to the food. My late Feb/early march lambing experiment has been shelved and I'll go back to April fools day, the rain and the mud was just too much.....besides one of my best ewe lambs...

My shed is in a 20 acre field. In the winter the ewes and rams can come and go as they please. Only put haylage in the shed and never in the fields. If they're hungry they know where it is. Dirt floor with straw and plenty of lime has kept their feet healthy. Shed is packed when it rains and...

Big energy has always pulled the global strings, they're also very good at deflection and manipulation. Politicians go along with it because they know the world we humans live in is totally dependent on fossil energy. To deny this is a falsehood. This won't change by 2030 or 2050 or probably...

I've said it before, investors see big money in disrupting the animal protein industry, politicians are in their pockets as they see it as a means of control over food production and distribution. Big corporations with big industrial protein plants, regulated by complicit politicians....what...

I get a few flakey ears on my Charollais x mules, but not all. Previous bloods haven't indicated a cobalt deficiency in the flock but I'm going to do another set soon to check for that and any other potential problems as my scan percentages are too low.
