Vet student last night as she was leaving us-
‘I take my hat off to you, but I’m so glad I don’t have to do anything with sheep ever again’. 🤣
She was a total walloper mind.
Who are these people!?
I have a family who live 20 yards from my calf shed. I can have a conversation over the fence with them while I do the milk feed. They never complain. Perhaps I’m just very lucky?
I’m assuming @JP1 was talking about the wider internet rather than TFF, though it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the King or William were both secret lurkers here knowing their interests.
We’ve probably had 20 like it, lamb in fine, strong lambs from good condition ewes. They have milk initially then it disappears after the initial feeds. It sometimes comes back a bit, enough to rear one lamb, but not to normal levels.
My wife did a 4 1/2 year farrier apprenticeship. She is very well paid now (when not on maternity leave).
I am looking at an apprenticeship for a 14 year old who lives round the corner and turns up all the time. He’s good with sheep, good with machinery, decent lad all round.
Found out why we are getting fit ewes lambing in with bugger all milk…off the scale on the schmallenburg blood test 🤦♂️
Only had one deformed lamb though, just seems to be presenting itself with lack of milk. Also explains our poor scan according to the vet.
it’s always something with sheep...
