    Good luck. Obviously we want to know how you get on, but more importantly a picture of the mart lunch if you have one and the initials IN CAPITAL LETTERS of who buys them. 👍

    I've lambed hundreds of mule hoggetts that would have been no more than 45kg when I bought them. Lambed outside with just the spring flush of grass to get them going. Biggest problem is too many twins. I doubt those monsters at the gimmer lamb sales even see a ram in their 1st year.

    Likewise, hardly any watery mouth. Keep lambing pens cleaned out and lots of lime. Just mud and wet. Frustrating that it's drying up nicely now and should be looking at lambs skipping but just looking out for the ones that are hobbling. 😟

    Had 30 or so lambs born outside, never been in. They have been as bad as any of them. Just been shìtty.

    I don't think anyone has had a good lambing. We are getting joint ill in 3 - 4 week old lambs now. I think they are picking it up outside rather than inside. Lambs seem to have scabby navels. I think it's just the amount of mud they have been running around in since they have been out. Draxin...

    That's the thing. Get the narrative straight in your head, have a plan going forward and get the knackerman to collect ASAP 👍. Nothing worse than deadstock hanging around to remind you.

    Sorry to hear about your Mum. Puts things into perspective somewhat. Hopefully a bit of sunshine will come your way soon. 👍

    It's been a tough winter on ewes. Mine have melted since lambing. Everything out is being fed - even singles. Twins on nearly a kilo a day. Ground is unbelievably wet. Heavy rain again tomorrow. Someone on here said their ewe mortality was less than 1% for the year to date and that they...

    Pretty much 100 kg lighter than the bbx that I sold last week. Probably cost the extra money too.👍

    Discs and small seed distributor.

    Any recommendations/ avoid for a 3 metre machine for a 120 hp tractor. Mainly for barley stubbles to put back into grass, ploughed leys into forage roots and to bust up root stubbles in preparation for spring barley. TIA.🙂
