    Livestock guardian dog

    That ship has sailed. At 7 years old + she is very, very, very, old to start training. Also your post shows a distinct lack of know-how regarding sheep and working sheep with dogs, the two things put together make it a virtually impossible task to get your dog to work sheep. If you are...

    First lambing

    If you are a first time farmer you don't really have a clue so posting your few observations and expecting people to diagnose just off what you think you have seen over the internet isn't really fair.

    Diane Abbott.

    Yeah ok, corrupt etc etc however all added together a drop in the ocean next to what has been "lost" by the NHS in the last year.

    My latest conspiracy theory ...

    Well maybe. Personally since the EIAs became a thing I have taken to reseeding on rotation grass/roots/something else. Cartridges are expensive and I rarely hit what I aim at the first time.

    Pain in shin bones

    Not another suggestion more of the same shin splint type stuff: Sore spots in calf muscles at the back can radiate through and be felt as pain in the front (certainly can with me anyway) before diagnosing yourself with anything miore exciting try searching through the muscles with pressure...
