Heres a rarity for me. A f**king blackface lamb🤣can't be pleasant trying to knock these out with horns like that

Its the Hebrideans having the Roussin lambs and so far so good. Have had to give one or two a wee pull but some of my hebrideans are on the small side. One was a leg back and the other was a Gimmer that should of went to the Heb ram. Seriously considering getting another for next year but...

I know!!! It's going to be 8ft high block walls with no gaps anywhere for horns or heads to get under🤣 Bizarrely they aren't too bad on fences as fences are almost completely alien to them as they live high up on the hill....the Hebrideans however are very much clued up on ways to get under them

I've got 40 Hebrideans and 80 BF ewes. Not through 50 bags of feed yet and used two hay bales on top that. Have about 100 live lambs on the ground with a more yet to come. Got sick fed up of terminals and f**king about at lambing. Lambed a relatives yesterday and it ran off and I spent the...

No point asking us tbh. Go look around you and see what other farms are doing . A good few big sheep farms in Ontario. I worked on a sheep farm in Ontario. Housing was poly tunnels for lambing. Slatted flooring for fattening lambs. Sheep stayed outside all winter. Alot of farms up that...

I could have 60 of those bad bred type if you're interested. Just looking at those mongrels of mine. No shape and too much wool

just took in a 3 day old lamb. ewes milking fine and ive seen it every day the last three days no reaction from it if you touch its eyes (as if it was brain damaged) and breathing very heavy (rattling). tongue kind of sticking out. dont think its watery mouth, any ideas?

Really happy with the lambs being churned out by the Heb x Roussins. Had f**k all feed too this year and it's been a harsh winter. Will be interesting to see how they grow now though but will keep a hold of them into next year and hopefully the price is decent. Will end up keeping some of...

Think I'll be keeping all my lambs into the start of next winter. Got the hill ground for it. Not like they will be taking up space.

Worst lambing weather in a long time. Rain rain rain and we're having high winds too Sheep are lambing ok and the lambs are getting through it alright. Lost a couple of half twins after a few days old but being hill sheep, probably shouldnt of been tupped in the first place and a real lack...

Well that's what a hebridean x Roussin looks like

Heard a few complaining of the same problem. Obviously just one of those years but who can f**king blame the sheep given the weather we've had

Couldn't toxo do that?

That my worry too long term. This will be the first time these sheep have ever been fed and given their age it's probably helped them. Alot of these old ewes won't see another breeding year. First year these sheep have ever been scanned and they're running about 145%. They weaned less than...

Glad it's not just us then. Thankfully the BF are that wild and hefted to the top they don't go raiding but maybe the bought in ones might. If they do I'll just move them on but hopefully their first crop of lambs will stick with the hefted ones. It's a no lose situation really.. I'm...
