I did, very hard to make a living paying rent for land and house as well as a big loan, what’s that got to do with making out a late spring is as bad as the titanic.

I guess most have their own reasons for jacking ..

It’s not a crime to jack it I’m, I’m not sure why some that are so miserable on here don’t, got millions in assets handed to them yet they winge and moan that the jobs shite. Plenty other thing you could do in life.

The day has got better , not only a dead yow but uad to shoot a heifer that was calving a massive dead calf to a simmy bull ( not mu simmy bull)And shoot an old cow that damadged her hip fell and damadge her eye … two dead cows and dead yow , cant wait for this afternoon s fun.

You’re having as much luck as me!

No its not, things change in agriculture one day things can be great and profitable next thing its turned on its head before you know where you are .

When people on here say this year will soon be forgotten about after a few weeks of sun….it won’t be forgotten for forever. It’ll go down in history like the titanic

Your not wrong. @kateWinslet, if you're on here, message me if you need rescuing.

 

[Doddsy]

That is grim for you. If its any consolation, I don't think anyone has had an easy time of it, be that north or south, early or late. Its been joint ill here.....

Yes, while no consolation, it's clear from reading the messages on this forum the problems are all across the UK. Just a case of head down and keep going, as always

Is it that bad ? imagine a winter like this with a fat lamb price around 80 quid

Ah well, the temperature has rocketed into double figures now, so I'm off to get the sh!t kicked out of me trying catch and tag some 4 week old calves that never got done....

Not cut the dead calf out?

Was me that said that, has it really been that bad? Our lambing hasn't gone too bad tbh, maybe lambing that little bit later has helped, we'll have less lambs than normal though because we'd alot more empties at scanning, think we had our share of losses between christmas and scanning

 

[hill shepherd]

Anyone else keeping more for next year ?

Most probably

 

[Bigsingle]

Clearly not speaking for all, and I'm delighted that some have not had the same weather. But from my own experience and listening to those a LOT older round about, few can remember such a prolonged period of cruel conditions with practically no let up. Fat lamb price of £200 is of little comfort if you're not selling into that market for now, in many ways it makes the losses more painful, although personally it's the distressed and sorry looking stock that cause me the most anxiety. Nothing new in all of this, just good to vent.....

It’s sickened a lot of my neighbours off this time everyone you speak to has lost lambs and expect to loose more lambs in May the way stock is stressed

Texel x Shearlings with beltex lambs away this morning. Singles £278 (£275 last week)
Twins £335
Feels like the First day of spring here. Working in T-shirt and trainers this afternoon, had a cold drink at 3.30 instead of tea or coffee for the first time in I can’t remember. 1 field of barley left to sow and I will want a ruck of cheviot ewes at the back end to lamb positives

That's how I see it
Those that ask 'is it really that bad' obviously havnt had it as bad but they should still give a bit of thought to those that have , it's been a rough time for many, as bad a winter and spring as many have ever seen .
