    The Fencing Picture Thread

    If it's proper coal tar creosote then it would be the same. If I cap any posts I just use flashing tape/flashband. Works well enough.

    Sheep- what do folk feed when the grass runs out?

    That's a great effort. How are the uprights fixed to the ground. Bolted to concrete?

    Sheep- what do folk feed when the grass runs out?

    Slightly off topic, but did you build that shed using pallet racking?

    Winter Housing Sheep

    I've an old railway line running up the middle of the farm here. Part of it has a rough field joined to it. I winter my ewes on Silage there. Rotate lambs around the bottom half of the farm behind electric and rest the top half of the farm for lambing and early lactation.

    Ewes with no milk

    Let them have a go at some nice fresh grass if you can. Always best for brining milk on

    sh!t lambing

    I've been cursing my sheep for being so slow this past 10 days. Not 25% of the way through numbers wise. Been a blessing in disguise though I guess.

    sh!t lambing

    Yes but you've got to catch them early and its still a roll of the dice I've found. ABs, Anti-inflammatory and 🤞 *edit. That's for Mastitis

    Leveling rigg and furrow in a field

    Tis good for lambing in tbh. Photo taken today at the same height as the ridge.

    Leveling rigg and furrow in a field

    360 to remove the top soil. Level then spread top soil back out. Be a shame to do so though. I used to hate mine but I've grown quite fond of it

    Losing lambs

    Not saying they haven't, but have they definitely got or getting enough milk? White muscle disease? Lamb Dysentery? Really need to get some post-mortems done imo.
