    Foot rot - footvax

    We're getting more and more foot rot here. Pretty strict at culling any bad feet before tupping but it just keeps on appearing in others. Tups are the worst. I buy hill Cheviots at Dingwall and try to stay clear of anything that looks like it has feet problems but a year later and their feet...

    The war in Ukraine...

    Horrible thread title to start, ridiculous really, totally unnecessary; but Putin has done it... it seems crazy. :( I think we - Nato / the West / Democracies - should arm and finance Ukraine. I think we should have a zero tolerance of infringement of NATO airspace and territory. And I think...

    Fat lambs in the shed

    Got a lot of fat lambs in the shed trying to fatten, but I've never seen a year like it for bad feet. Trimmed and run them through formalin before they went in .

    CS 2022 offers

Normal treatment is...

    Single Market / Customs Union - A Tragic Loss

    As humans, we have an innate tendency to take what we have for granted. Very often, we don’t appreciate the true meaning or value of something, until it’s gone. Then sadly it can all too often be too late. Barely two weeks into the final Brexit trade deal, I dare say there are many, many...
