Were the lame ? 😂
No, out of that Shetland that was incorrectly drafted dry. She's missed the lorry south.

She's got no teeth and got no milk, having lost a lot of condition following a dog bite 🤬. I've been treating her but she's just melted.

I don't have time to bottle rear the lambs, and there's no chance to adopt them on to anything.

Sell the lambs, shoot the ewe, problem solved. The only sheep I have about me now are 4 herdie wethers for dog training.

I called up about some I saw advertised in South Shropshire/Welsh border.

200 acre ring fenced block of upland grazing. No fert to be applied. Owner retains BPS. From 01 Apr to 31 Dec.

Agent said in the region of £150/ac, with a nearby block achieving £165/ac.

Where is the margin in that? I'd have been better off selling the whole flock scanned in lamb. At least I'd lose money quickly and without any work.
McCarteys’s?
