Are you guys not worried about clipping ewes when it’s this cold, just come back from my top land and absolutely frozen in just a body warmer ( and a ewe with mastitus), in case you knock the milk off. I’m going to wait till next week before I tackle any ewes, 25 tups hiding in a wood this morning.
Got a lass comin next week to blitz um, two mobs left to do(y)
Will chew through afew till then, weather permits:rolleyes:

It chucked it down all day yesterday, I shore about 100 that had been in over night. I felt fine in the morning I was frozen starting again after lunch (until I did a few and got warmed up).

Ewes are happy and content today
