lambing

does anyone know of a holster or similar for this kind of gun? I’m tired to risking stabbing myself or dirtying the needle every time I have to handle the stock. Thanks in advance

I bought some gimmer lambs in the sales last year to run on and keep some grass down with the intention of selling them this Autumn, that was the plan. Last week one looked a bit off so got in the pens gave it a jab and if it didn’t perk up by the next day vet job might be cheaper than paying...

Good morning, I’m wondering if anyone on here has or have had aberfield x Nz Romney ewes. Looking at crossing our Nz Romney ewes with an aberfield or even a Nz texel so have crossbreed ewes. Hoping for better scanning % and less wool. Many thanks

Im old enough to remember the 3 day week in the early 1970s ( i was at school then), when the country had days without any electricity? miners were on strike, brought the heath govt. down? and other hard recessions up to now? It just seems to me the population has got so soft over the years, and...

Hi guys Any idea why all of a sudden every gimmer decides to reject the lamb? We never usually have this issue and the gimmers this year have been exceptionally good mothers up to that point. But all of a sudden, pretty much from one day to the next, every gimmer in the polytunnel that lambs...

Having only bought Yamaha Quads for some years, decided to try a Suzuki as it was difficult to get Yamaha this last winter. It was slightly cheaper and seemed a similar spec. When you buy a new Yamaha the first service the labour is free, so you just pay for oil and filters which are reasonable...

In the Telegraph reported as if the whole of UK is spreading digestate which is far from the truth. I suspect it is all concentrated in some areas and of course no indication as to how plastic gets there in the first place by people flushing stuff and finding its way into our sewer system. If...

Just curious really, what got me thinking was a previous employee of mine. People always say good staff in Ag are really hard to find. But rarely do people seem to request references from previous employers when they are looking to take someone on. Why is this? I sacked a lad about 2 years...

They are pushing hard into the Ag market. 600cc 4wd bike well built and on face of it very good value, has anyone got one or got experience??

This is year 2 of a five year cutting/grazing ley. The clover seems to have taken off this year, but can you have too much clover for first cut haylage?

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...
