Well these 3 made me look like an amateur in front of a new landlord.

God knows where they were when I moved the rest Saturday, but he was very amused to tell me I'd left 2 behind!!!😂🤦‍♂️

She’s a nightmare that one. Walks the lambing fields 4 times a day (got nothing better to do) Can’t stop her because of footpaths.

Mrs got caught by a similarly helpful lady this morning. Apparently there was a lamb dead by a tree, probably because it's mother wasn't licking it. The nice lady took offence when Mrs NeilO pointed out to her that if she hadn't been stood over it for 20 minutes, with her dog on a lead, then she might have licked it!
That was the second helpful one of the morning. Looking forward to the day when I don't have footpaths through my lambing paddocks.

Way back when you when you were doing you AI there was a small Angus x hfr that caused a lot of discussion on SM if you remember?, did she turn out in calf?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Busy weekend.

I have 8 heifers in calf that were approx 280kg on 09 Jun. And another 7 that were 300-310kg on the same date.

There was a lad down the road from me put one up for lambing in and I don't know if it was wind or snow that knackered it but it only lasted a couple of years
I tell a lie… I put a bale spike through the roof the first year I put it up.. just took a photo for rob and spotted it again 😂 clear taped both sides of the rip and never been a problem since.. I’m in a very open place too, see attached photos
Did you put a floor down or are you on to soil?
Soil floor and it’s like concrete I tried too knock some posts in it this year and got 2 inches in and gave up
