Did you get the hung lamb out alive?View attachment 1030770This mornings self inflicted f**k up, left the gate open onto singles, had to lamb a hung lamb and turned round and they have gone like a rocket into the twins. Well that one less group I suppose.

Had the knackerman here yesterday for a dead ewe….I said to him, the ewe either dies and leaves you with nothing….or dies and leaves you with 2 pet lambs (which mine did)Just when you thought it was safe...
....along comes that cold east wind and up pops this year's first cases of black bag
Took 2 lovely sets of 3 week old twins, like these, to the cade pen ....

I've a pure Texel Hogg with a pair of cracking Beltex-Texel lambs at foot I need to put down. She went down with CCN and hasn't responded to treatment
Ofcourse - she's my best Texel Hogg, too

The law of sod 
Best always die. Had a big dead texel in the week for no reason, she was so big a heavy that I had to get loader with Muck grab to lift here. While I had a £30 Welsh broker that I put my finger through a prolapse and she is completely fine.The law of sod

Sorry to hear you lost that battle. I only ever seem to save staggers cases by treating before moving. Is it the same with CCN, Similar sort of stress on the brain I would have thought. Only ever had a couple of casesI've a pure Texel Hogg with a pair of cracking Beltex-Texel lambs at foot I need to put down. She went down with CCN and hasn't responded to treatment

Ok, I’ll toodle off and cry to someone who will listen to me.
Your cost seem far to expensive for me, I’m just to f**k up that cost maximum of £180.

I've a few ewes running I might not be sad to see the back of, but you're right it's ALWAYS the best which fvck up and die.
At least I've got her cross bred son and daughter to keep (son is twinned onto another hogg already)... and her sister is a very good looking sheep too (the new favourite, do no doubt she'll die coupied before shearing) with a daughter at foot.
And her mum has given me possibly the best looking ewe lamb I've ever bred (only 5wks old, but very excited to see how she grows and turns out!)

Walking ewes and lambs off the hill and managed to go over a drop and get stuck with the wheels off the ground and nowhere to go forward as the ewes f@cked off back up the hill. Spent 20 minutes digging out rocks to be able to drive forward and get the tow bar off the ledge.
Walking ewes and lambs is a thankless task at the best of times.

Just out to the sheep, last triplet ewe lmbed, normal 2 alive, biggest one dead, thank f**k thats the last one of those for another year.
Was out at 1.30 this morning to find 2 dead lambs, ewe was standing over them. Got her penned up and made a start on skinning both, (2 sets of trips yesterday afternoon so lifted two that would fit the skins) walked in this morning to find one sucking and the other sleeping.
