    Why do lambs mispresent?

    Thanks folks, they will be 1/8 texel. I dont think that would be the issue. The lack of space in the uterus to get the legs in the right place sounds plausible. I will have a look at the birthweight ebv to see if I have bought one that throws biguns

    Why do lambs mispresent?

    I run romneys and romney x ewes, no feed, turnips then grass in the lambing paddocks. I am having a run of lambs with a leg back, I am halfway through and have sorted out more stuck lambs than the whole of last years lambing. It is also not helped by the lambs being big, I used some new lleyn...

    Abortion issue

    Scanned at the weekend, 19/230 empty, normally it would be 5 or 6. Scanner said most of the empties were in lamb but the foetus is now dead, visible but no heartbeat and that they had died in the previous 48 hours. We are due to start lambing 1/4. The ewes have been on turnips for the last...

    Rusty ryegrass

    I have 40 odd acres of ryegrass that my lambs were due to move onto, unfortunately it has developed a rust problem. I expect that the lambs wont be too keen to eat it, if I can find somewhere else for the lambs to go in the short term, will the grass recover or is that it?

    Has anyone had experience of using Dodicile, its a B12 & B1 injectable. £20ish for 100mls. Looks like the same concentration of B12 to Troy.

    Race weigh/Eziweigh 7i EID

    Ah now, I wonder if I have it set to auto record and it is recording to the eid and moving on. Something to check. To be fair, all the systems I looked at had niggles. The big plus of the race weigh was that I could pack it all up in one go in the handling system by myself.

    Race weigh/Eziweigh 7i EID

    Morning I am having two issues with the raceweigh, they are more an inconvenience than anything, the lambs back into the rear entrance to the crate and stand on the frame of the drafting doors. This gives an inaccurate weigh and slows the process down trying to get the lamb in the right...

    Joint ill

    I had what I would call normal joint ill, as in limping on one leg, which I treated as normal with betamox and rheumocam, however I also had lambs suddenly going off two legs, fine in the morning, unable to walk in the afternoon. Vet suggested it was likely a problem with an infection in the...

    Forage rape dried up by the wind

    The last week has taken its toll on my forage rape turnips mix. The ewes are 7 weeks out from lambing and this is to last them for the next 5 weeks. It looks better this morning but I am worried it will have lost its nutrient value. The turnips are fine and the ewes are eating what there is of...
