Exactly my point when your in a hole the first thing you need to do is stop digging,at least then you can try and fix the mess.....then along comes Covid and cripples the world not to mention Russia .
no point arguing with a remoaner they’re still bitter

While we are in danger of getting political on here again, here’s something completely different.
This hogg is a total arse. I mean a real twunt. I picked him up a month ago, horn digging into the side of his head. Clipped the horn back, hadn’t broken the skin so that’s good. Looked tatty so sheared him. Discovered he’s a rig. Dosed with levofas and liquithrive and turned out again. Since then he has been the bane of my life. He’s never left our farm but he’s been in every single field, every different bunch of sheep. Stood there with a gormless expression on his face. When he walks his head bobs even though he’s 100% sound on his feet. Every time I went for him he disappeared as soon as he saw me.
Sorting last load of hoggs ready for tomorrow and I remember after tea that I need to catch him! Just over an hour of chasing him around the farm flat out on the quad, vaulting fences, lost him twice but picked him up again, he ran into a gennel. I caught him as he tried to jump over my right shoulder to get away! I’ve shut every gate in the shed and yard that stands between him and freedom… I really hope he’s there in the morning! I don’t care if he only makes £30! Just so long as he’s gone!! To be fair to him, while he’s been rambling he’s put a good covering on so fingers crossed 🤞

It’s a bit like my kids getting told no , they keep asking and asking until they grind you down and eventually they either go in the huff or you get them what they want knowing it will happen again and again now you’ve given in to them
Or you give them a thick ear and shout “FFS NO! BE TOLD!” 😉 my mums a scary lady when she’s angry, we soon learnt No means NO! 😂😂

I was rather worried that if I didn’t catch it and it made it to October somehow what the hell would it throw out of mule ewes?! 😂

Dad had offered to stalk it with me, I was nearly at going for the rifle tonight when he made his mistake! 😂😂

😂 iv a ewe roaming a quarry next to my land I lost back in November.. the foreman texts me every now and then maybe once a month to say it’s been spotted but every time I go looking it’s vanished again..
