Doing some over the fence farming, neighbours wheat, drilled late ish. Is this spray damage caused by the vortex behind the sprayer? No idea what it has been treated with but rumour has it that it gets top notch. All 3 tramlines in this field the same, 48m boom.

I’ve got a Texel shearling ewe due to lamb in 5 days, both her back legs have swollen up at exactly the same time and evenly down both legs feels very fluidy and wobbly, never seen this in sheep before. Could it just be water retention and swelling pre lambing like some women get? any answers...
