Me too....feed mine loose minerals which they seem to like, don't know if they do anything, will wait for blood test results.

Mixedfmr covers it well in the above post. Find the wethers have a better confirmation and weight than a straight mule wether.

Been very happy with my old lleyn tup over my mules to get maternal replacements. So much so I got him some company, a yearling.

Be interested to hear of your conclusion as I have had the same. Lambs that have died tended to be the smaller ones, had anemia on inspection, once they went down most didn't recover. The ones that did survive responded to cydectin drench. Think I have Haemonchus again. Done regular FEC since...

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...

Could even reduce the oil used to produce clothing, let me think.............a good biodegradable readily available fibre that's been used before.......that'll be wool😃, the shedder mans' nightmare.
