I’ve a number of last years ewe lambs running , the plan was to sell half as shearling breeding ewes as they are decent sorts.
But the price of hogs at the moment means they need to be £250 plus as shearlings……
Well spring seems to be in the air here the couple days, its also not rained for 36 hours which is a bit of a shock.
Dawn chorus is really ramping up which I love to hear, but one migratory bird is back and has the most annoying song.....bloody Chiffchaff!
Boring monotonous repetitive...
Last few years I have used whole barley with a protein pellet for lambs in creep feeders and its worked well. Far cheaper than bought in pellets.
This year I have kept back my usual bit of barley to use but I also have a few tonne of wheat that never went at harvest. Thinking about adding that...
Anyone seeing more joint ill than normal? I always get a hand full but treating about a dozen at the moment.
Lamb outside and these are approx 10 to 15 days old.
Weather been crap like everywhere so prob the cause.
Treating with a big hit of Trimox LA and metacam.
The comments on this post are simply vile.
I just hope the poor lads family never see them.

Im ok with the rules around livestock but are chickens classed as livestock and can I shoot a dog in the actions of killing them? (I have both SGC and FAC and conditions on my FAC include protection of livestock)
Hens are in the garden and behind chicken netting with single strand electric...

Placed an order start of last week and got a confirmation but heard nothing since.
Have emailed them and called, phone always goes to answer phone, no response to messages.
They are based in Sussex, Thakeham.

Im toying with upgrading current static sheep yards as they are pretty much end of life and where they are is a wet spot so currently the holding pens are a bog.
I will leave them in situ as they will be useful at times for smaller groups.
So once I decide on location Im looking for ideas...
Need to jab some ewe lambs that had a visit over Christmas by a neighbours tup. They are pedigree ewe lambs and his tup is certainly not pedigree let alone right breed.
Vet is saying it’s a vet only jab, is that correct?
Luckily it is only 6 so I can take them into practice easy enough.
Just had this thru:

Bloody hate the night before the tb read day. Vet due at 1:30pm tomorrow.
stress of moving groups of cattle to get ready, stress on me and family.
Tomorrow night it will be be a good drink to celebrate a pass or a bad night to drown my sorrows….joys of living in a 6mth test area.
I know what I’d rather eat out of the two options that are produced in this picture and I bet it has a lower carbon footprint and has less risk to my health…
Got a bit of fencing to do and tempted to try Clipex posts for a change. (Or the new offering from Mole Valley??)
