    Coccidiosis drench

    It depends.

    I've been advised by vet to give the second dose on the second day, before, when ewe was in distress. They clear it faster than cattle do. As always, check with your vet, though. Good luck catching the lamb.

    Stupid inventions...

    When lambing outside, I'd sometimes just watch a ewe from a distance. There would be times when the first lamb would be born very active, and totter away from the ewe instead of turning towards her to find the udder. The ewe would follow her lamb ~ whilst in the process of having the second one...

    no farmers no food

    All the dust in a current of desert air would seed any clouds in moist air it meets to make rain. It's what happens in Jordan, I think.

    Out of interest, which agricultural workers were furloughed? Edit ~ I've just read your reply to another about being in general. Sorry.

    If you're allowed through NuCustoms with them, I'm sure they'll be a rare treat for the local food larder/bank 🙃😊

    f**k Up Fortnight

    We're going to let them choose indoor or out now this high pressure has arrived. Tried macs when they first came out, and discovered Reynard liked ready wrapped meals, so we haven't used them since. Fewer foxes around now, though.
