I know its early but planning ahead this year I'm considering AI'ing some of my pure sheep this year and possibly hand mating the cross ewes I have, I obviously want them to all lamb around the same time and wondered if anyone has any expierence on this and if it's better sponging or using a...

Does the alarm sound as if its finished netting and ready to empty the bale or does it come up with an error? If the first option then I'd be curious about the counter on the roller, or something causing it to count turns quicker! If I remember rightly if you manually wrap a bale you let go of...

What does everyone find better for the prevention of blowfly strike? I currently use crovect but not sure what is best to use, a lot of people say Clik, what's everyone's expierences with it? Does it last the 16 weeks? Any reviews and expierences is appreciated!

My thoughts were that, but just thought they would take more than 1 ewe and her lamb, its cheviot ewes so there not exactly easy caught, not tame at all! Just cant figure out why she would leave completely

Slightly off topic but still to do with losing sheep, went round a field tonight that has 9 ewes and there lambs in it to find that I'm missing a ewe and a lamb, completely gone. One wire on the fence was up and the staple was out so guessing she maybe went through there, the field is in an...

That's true I suppose! I only did the older lambs with betamox as the ewes there with come to a bucket of feed so wasn't stressful getting them in, the other ewes I bought a month or so a go with lambs at foot and there not quite so tame hence I left them where they were so they didn't have the...

Thanks for all the replies on this, I'm not just the biggest believer in vaccines anyway whether human or sheep but I guess you'll never know how much you might of lost with no vaccine, might of been a lot worse! I'm up in aberdeenshire and the weather weve had recently with it being so warm but...

That's the problem with it all, I've helped plenty farms with sheep but ever since having my own you find out how much different products are on the market that say theyll do this and do that and half the time you wonder if there better with nothing but a jab when required! I dont think I'll be...

They had there 2nd jabs last sunday, so about a week after I found this one! Last year was my first year in this sheep carry on and didnt heptavac any, didnt loose 1 after lambing, do it this year and have lost 3?‍♂️ Just what's going about I suppose, when you've only got 30 odd it makes it...

Lost a third lamb suddenly with no signs yesterday, 11 weeks old and was fine the night before. This is the third one I've found in the last 3 weeks, got a post mortem done and got concluded that it was pasteurella pneumonia that caused the death, so guessing the other 2 had been the same. Lambs...

I write down tag numbers if it was only 1 or 2 required injecting, but today had to inject 10 lambs for the same issue so I just mark them and write down in the book the mark and amount administered etc.

Hi, had a 3rd lamb die suddenly today. I was suspecting pulpy kidney and the kidneys were slightly pulpyish, got tests sent away etc but the interesting thing I found was the lungs have this funny patterns on them? Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Have also asked vet who said he...

Thank you, Will have a look tomorrow to see if I can find it

That would be great if you could, cheers for your help

It's a 2 wire sensor and no I have not tested it as I haven't found the actual sensor for the speed reading, if it is the one on top of the box I will test it when I'm at the machine again

Is that the one that reads your speed? Do you think my problem would be related to the speed sensor? I can't see what else it could be unless it's a more serious problem?

According to the local dealer they gave me the gearbox speed sensor which is located in the middle of the box, down the right hand side, there's another sensor closer to the halfshaft, not sure what it's for but seems very likely to be a wheel speed sensor. The only other sensor I could find on...

I have a Renault 696rz 2003, once it gets warm when driving down the road the speed disappears off of the dash and it limits itself to 1800rpm. I've changed the gearbox speed sensor, I was wondering if there is a wheel speed sensor also and where it would be? It does not have a radar. Or if...
