In 2020 at the height of the 8 o’clock zoom quiz we where meant to do 3 a week, I missed everyone on indoor lambing and was back showered and had tea before everyone on the outdoor lambing!

I’d rather of not have the £500 also but it’s happened f**k all I could do about it so I was more than happy to exploit the situation… would do the public some good too walk a mile in our shoes for a change so frankly I couldn’t care less what’s said on a public forum it’s the reality of the job

Folk say it’s no good too lambs, but we’ve used cow colostrum for years. Always like too pinch a few pints off the February calving cows so I’ve got some in the freezer. Always comes in handy for balls ups!

Do you run sheep or do the sheep run you !I’ve always been told that disturbing outdoor lambers with the torch is the worst possible thing you could do?

Interesting they say that they receive a lot of complaints about 'your dog, your responsibility'. I can't see what there is to complain about?
Well if the cap fits
feck them, they’re all ignorant barstewards, I have this shît all the time, we put up signs, put stuff in village mag telling people the situation, put dates on the signs that sheep are in MY field, but know they are feckin thick, they tare down the signs an take no feckin notice what so ever because their dog would never hurt anything, he’s only playing!!!!! I don’t want to shoot any bodies dog but they force you to do it, people are feckin ignorant!!!! Boils my pîss

Local Bobby told me 4 years since after we’d had a lot of trouble in the area. “Best thing you can do is one of the local farmers shoot one and let us know. We will plaster it all over Facebook and people will take note of that! About a month after I obliged. That was a proper nasty one though 
I sure as hell wasn’t going near it.
I sure as hell wasn’t going near it.Nope...just a farmer looking to the welfare of his stock.
They'd go mental if you walked through town letting your dog chase and maul their cats (or dogs).
