Plus, these groups are all about calmness and inner peace. We know that doesn't exist when you've got sheep

Noticed on Monday the hill twin lambs which run on grass parks next door the odd lamb was getting dirty arsed... bang on time for needing a Cocci dose. Nadis has us on Amber for Nemo too so gave them a dose of white wormer seeing as I had them gathered.
Hopefully that sees them right, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get some good heat that they will need dosed again.
Ewes are thin. Shouldn't be surprised there, but I'm pretty pleased how well the lambs are doing - despite the awful spring!
Have you ever dosed lambs in May, in the snow?...
I hadn't, until today
We get 65, 8-13 month old stores sold through H&H last Friday. They left yesterday on an artic. Slatted shed is now empty and we're very happy with the prices.

I'm sure there's a rugged man somewhere in the Borders would be keen to give you a warming embrace
There's just enough hair on the chin to save it from the savagery of this weather. The cheeks have some real wind burn going on! That's the cheeks on my face before anyone asks
