@Nithsdale and Panda are pleased to announce the arrival of an heir (seen here held by the proud father, whilst checked by an expert veterinary). Mother and baby are doing well. Cards may be sent, but no visitors for the first month please.
Hate to break it to you pal I can't have kids....
Looks more like you anyway
Never knew the name for a wether/steer panda was a nithsdale. Learn something new every day.

If you were a vendor of hoggs in this sale, would you be happy for them to make this broad brush statement? Personally I’d be pretty f**ked off with them

I’d rather they told the truth of what they were like otherwise the price doesn’t mean much. Not that I would rely on mart reports for much

Found out why we are getting fit ewes lambing in with bugger all milk…off the scale on the schmallenburg blood test 
Only had one deformed lamb though, just seems to be presenting itself with lack of milk. Also explains our poor scan according to the vet.
it’s always something with sheep, just something different every year!!

That’s a new one, and a bugger to deal with.
Does their milk generally come up after a few days, or just enough to rear one?The good news is that, having Schmallenburg sweep through the country, everything should now be immune again for a few years.

We’ve probably had 20 like it, lamb in fine, strong lambs from good condition ewes. They have milk initially then it disappears after the initial feeds. It sometimes comes back a bit, enough to rear one lamb, but not to normal levels.
