I have this set up now for the past 5 years, best thing I ever did for resting the farm for the winter

All I know is 2180 euro for 200 shots of toxovax and enzovax

It does, just trying g to breed the perfect sheep for my farming system, I couldn't carry that number of sheep with out that shed and I need output. I could just drop numbers back and feed nothing and spend nothing on the sheep but your into a very low output system then and your fixed costs...

Thank you sure it's something different

I'm not sure how to do that I'll try figure it out

The wintering is the only difference to other sheep farms, as said its quite common over here where there's not much other options, it's not even a case of winter grazing being expensive, it can't even be got in my area nowadays, before yhat shed was built sheep went away for grazing, what I was...

Thats me in that video, easycares can be low output or high output depending on what way you farm them, I'm very happy with them a medium sized ewe selling 1.6 lambs with less work than other breeds. Can keep a flock closed and find the lambs easily enough finished. Mine aren't full easycares...

Ours get nuts and hay in the individual pens for handiness then go straight out to grass the change from tmr doesn't effect them

We stayed around west linton a few weeks ago, lots of big farms around there and fields full of great mule ewes and texel lambs, didn't seem to be any shortage of mile sheep around there

It's tight putting our 520 in the back section of our 14ft dp ifor

Use 1 3rds methylat spirits 2 3rds iodine here and woks well, had next to no problems with the main bunch lambing, 700 Lambed 1st 2 weeks of march very straightforward out to good grass then the weather comes a f**ks it all up, picked up 12 shook lambs yesterday and 5 dead ones there's always...

I have to say I never seen anything come out of a ewe like that

Had one like that last year you did well to get it out

Theres plenty of lambs in Ireland, any demand from factories is being fulfilled as it is, believe me we don't need more sheep being imported to our little island

Until they improve working conditions hours and break times and pay then there will be no young lads in their right mind that would want to do it, I've done it myself and and I wouldn't wish it on anybody, the work itself is fine but the treatment these large abattoirs give their workers is wrong

Using texel and easycare to make decent rams that do both jobs, also some texel x beltex

Definitely the way forward especially for bigger flocks

We just had this discussion at a group meeting on the farm here, the texel is going the same way as the Suffolk breed now, a few if us are turning to breeding our own rams, as long lasting grass reared sheep are getting too hard got over here

It is scary when you sit down and do the figures, I reckoned we had one of the best lambings ever last spring, according to the number of lambs sold/retained for breeding versus the number of lambs scanned, we lost 215 lambs which was about 11 percent, when you look back I don't know where half...
