Iv got 100 Welsh yearling to lamb next year and thinking what to put on them, atm I put nz over older Welsh ewes but they seem to get massive singles (loss far to many) and don’t really want to risk yearlings that will be mainly singles. I’m think of beltex and running the lambs until may/June...

Just a thought while going round sheep. How long until we have to leave dead stock about for feed the predators, there's loads about now and must thrive this time of year with outside lambing but come June must be a real struggle for them to find enough food.

I’m outside lambing and seem to have a far few 1 and 2 crop ewes lacking milk, they are very fit and plenty of grass, they where run on beet for 4 months and I’m thinking maybe they are lacking something. It’s not a major problem but am having to lift some of the twins off and would like to sort...

I have a bunch of 100 ish nz Suffolk first and second crop ewes and next year have 200 more to come in, I'm very impressed with them over lambing, they scanned less than the mules but have been turned out with more lambs, milk better and no pet from them. I really want to keep replacements out...

Our sheep yard where broken into last night, the store room was raided and what was taken was 10 high energy feed bucks, 6 life line buckets (left 2), 2 bottle of solatal fluke drench, a stake of new drenching and vaccine guns, 4 bottles of vetocert, 5 liters of iodine, the broom and folk, 2000...

I had a quote couple of weeks ago off a feed rep, the price was far to high and not good enough quality (thanks to tff we worked this out) so I told him I didn’t want it. He was very pushy at the time and the next day messaged me again. I come into my sheep sheds this morning to feed and there...

I have had a bunch of sheep that have been running with one tup since mid November. I thought I better put another in with a raddle in as I had one in the trailer. I’ve let him out and he is tupping 2 ewes like mad. It’s going to be a nervous couple of days before I know if it’s just a...

What makes dog owners pick up shite in a bag and hang it on my gate, if a saw them doing it I would make them eat it! 🤢

Iv got 100 big Suffolk cross lambs that I want to tup, iv got enough seeds for 4 weeks then fodder beet to graze. Has anyone had experience putting them on beet a couple of days before the tups go in?

I kept a load of theaves back in 2018 because they weren’t worth much. It comprised of 250 ncm, 50 scotch mules and 100 welsh. I have been going through the ewes this morning and over half (26) of the scotch mules are broken (some have no teeth at all), 10 ncm where and no welsh. So the question...

If I employed a shepherd and it was his weekend off we would have had a hell of a falling out today, 3 struck ewes, 2 with mastitis, 2 dead ewes, 2 dead lambs and bunch of ewe hoggs out because the electric wasn't working, all before I went off shearing this morning!:oops: No problems all week...

Anyone else fed up with weekends. People leaving gates open, dogs running wild (more than normal) and the phone never stops with wannabe shepherds telling me how to do my job!

I always lamb 50 older mule ewes feb to sell as couples and iv just bought a load more hill ewes (cheap) so will sell 50 March Suffolk x and mule 3 year olds. What do people think the trade will be like this spring?

I’m looking for 3 quality Suffolk shearling rams to go onto mules. Would prefer them to be performance recorded. Looking for long rams with good growth figures. Not to far way from the Cotswolds.

I made a decision a couple of years ago not to give luck money when selling sheep, in stead I give the fist and best sheep to charity. I was selling theaves in market last week (not a great trade but that's another story) when someone came up to me saying that he had bought a pen of sheep and...

I have decided to scabivax the lambs this year after having really bad orf in a big bunch of ewe lambs last autumn. I have bitten the bullet and bought the vaccine and was going to do them when I turn the lambs out. The problem I have is it says in the information not to mix unvaccinated sheep...

On the radio yesterday they where blaming England's dismal performance batting against New Zealand on Cooke lambing his sheep and not having time to prepare. Its just the sort of excuse I use for everything!! I think we can blame everything that goes wrong in the world on sheep (and sometimes...
