Came off or neighbour but between fox and crows I was surprised there was nothing dead.

Certainly wouldn’t have them on fields in this weather! 24mm so far today, lambs that had 4-5 weeks left on a field may be out within 7 days 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nah, I'd be peed if they were on our fields at the minute. Fields had been going ok but last night's rain has put them right back to square 1. Will be moving a bunch of ewes off a field Wednesday they could have stayed on for another week at least, problem is the next fields will wreck just as quick.

Trying to keep fields with hardstanding back until closer to lambing for feeding hay but not sure I'll get the luxury.

Put dung out on Friday knowing this was coming bit of a mark in gateway but field travelled fine. No chance now and not sure when we would get a chance again
