I've got 60 stores knocking about, reasonable size at home. Do I send them to my other block of grazing 20 miles away on clean grass and grow or sell as stores now. Help, what do I do. They are not taking grass away from pregnant ewes....
I've used numerous weigh crates but always like the prattley weigh crate, however I think rappa handling unit is stronger than the prattley, only my opinion...
Work a couple of days for an old boy who has two grandsons working for him, the youngest 19, just finished college, thinks he knows it all, thinks he's my boss, and even has the audacity to say to me this week "glad you're back this week so I can do fu#k again"
Just wanted to knock him out.
18k when employed on one farm.
Now 35k plus whatever my ewes produce.
I lamb around 5000 sheep a year. Thats a lot of hours........
I also have small contracts where wealthy land owners have stock but are willing to pay well for somebody to do the bigger jobs. Some pay well for you just...
All 5 of my working dogs get dry dog food only, at least 20% protein, usually a muesli mix.
Oldest is 14 and still working a couple of times a week. Can't complain about that
I've got 73 ewes getting through 1 ton of beet in a week every week, hardly any grass in front of them plus a round bale of hay about every 9 days.
Not lambing until 20th April
I'm a contract shepherd of many years now starting up my own flock
Expanding sheep flock is looking for more ground to go at. Anything considered! :)
