I’m currently feeling like a need to get away for a few days, but want to be occupied.... does anyone need any help with sheep anywhere? I have two good dogs and am fit and healthy. I will stay in b&b so will be self sufficient! I’d love to go somewhere with fells/moors/hills.

Can anyone give me a rough idea of what this is worth? In good working order

What are NS lambs typically killing out at? Sent some to the local abattoir, all 38-42kg and they have come back at 15-17kg - that’s supposedly killing out at 40%?!?!?

Was hoping to wean and shear at the same time but looks like it won’t be possible for various reasons. If I weaned today and tomorrow, would their udders have gone down enough by Saturday? Lambed late feb early March.

Any great ideas for keeping the buggers off while they are still in the field? I will cart and stack them as soon as I can but I’m on my own and it takes me a while....

Can anyone recommend a quality collie dog for my bitch. She’s a fantastic little dog, stylish, determined, really listens, but can on occasion have a little bit too much eye. She has an incredible temperament and is very biddable, and I’d really like to keep this in the pups.... any ideas?

Would there be any problems doing this? More likelihood of mastitis?

I’m sure this has been done to death, but what’s the best way to get clover into a ley? It was drilled last autumn, and will be cut in about a month. I’ve also got another field that could do with having some put back in after it all was thistlexed last month.

Had my first struck ewe yesterday. And not a dirty one - they were on her back. Know what I’ll be doing all week [emoji30]

Fert and sprays. We’ve always bought from Bartholomews and their agronomist has been brilliant. However, he’s just retired and his replacement just doesn’t bother to get back to me at all when I want to order stuff. So this may be a stupid question but where is best to buy? I need some...

I’m going to build some creep gates out of pallets to put round the cocci buckets. What’s the ideal space between the bars?

I’m buying a snacker and need to get it transported from Herefordshire to Dorset. Any suggestions?

I have a shearling that's had a dead twin and a live one. The waterbags were still intact so I tried wet fostering a triplet but she was having none of it. Would you bother bringing her in and putting her in the stocks? Or just leave her alone to rear one? I think my normal instinct would be to...

I have 120 ewes and lambs in a field and they are dropping like flies with mag deficiency (and yes @bovine I've had pms done). I've put mag in the water, they've got mag blocks, maxx blocks and I started feeding them yesterday but still lost 2 overnight. Ive got no grass anywhere else and just...
