The in injection is Ovarellin/Recaptal. Cyclicx is basically Estrumate. Its vet only. They may let you have it but they’ll need to check the Heifers beforehand to make 100% sure that they’re not in calf.

I’m using this programme this year for our sucklers. Worked well last year with 65% holding to 1st service. Bull in to sweep after.

Yeah well finished off a new red clover ley. Abermax on Lleyn.

Oswestry today 42.5kg, £92. £10 a head down on last week ☹️

We dock a month before lambing and cant say i’ve noticed an increase in mastitis. Main benefit I find is that newborn lambs can find the teat easier in that vital first couple if hours,

Take the rogue ewes and put them on a small paddock. Run an electric wire all around the boundary to train them. 2/3 days they’ll soon know what it is, job sorted

Looking for some second hand cattle cubicles. Preferably head to head ones. Could do with about 40-50. Thanks.

Lambing student wanted from around the 25/3/17 for 2-3 weeks for 1 or 2 people. Lambing 650 Lleyn X, Aberdale and Mule ewes indoors, all lambs electronically tagged and birth records linked to dams. Experience not essential but a willingness to get stuck in and learn is a must! Accommodation...

Heard about a video that was on Facebook this week of a chap trying to dry sheep with a straw chopper!! No idea if it worked.

Fluke?

Had sciatica for 2 yrs. Tried an osteopath, Bowen therapist and acupuncture to no avail. A Pilates DVD sorted it in the end.

We put our singles on swedes after lambing last year and it was a crap job. Lambs just didn't kick on as I hoped. Probably not enough protein for a milking ewe was my thought.

Best thing we ever did to stop this problem was to shear them pre lambing.
