Your gecko? A tiger? Are you drunk? 🤣

Not all sheep in NZ are extensively grazed and lambed unshepherded. This may be true for high country flocks, but there are plenty of lower sheep properties where they seen daily. Speak to @Global ovine who attended the birth site of every one of his 3000 recorded lambs.

Are there still hill flocks in the UK which lamb unshepherded on the heather?

As for my practices, my sheep are seen daily. They receive prompt and appropriate treatment, be that drugs or euthanasia. I also ensure pain relief is give to all cases of lameness and assisted lambings. I was speaking to a UK farmer the other day and outlined my practices. He asked me what NSAIDs were.
Mate of mine doesn't see much of his sheep at lambing time.he goes shooting foxes instead.says they take more lambs than has problems with sheep lambing.

f**king people are the worst
While I get more than my fair share of grief from my many hundred neighbours whom overlook one particular field I did have a really nice girl and probably her boyfriend go to the trouble of tracking me down to tell me I had a ewe needing assistance in a ditch (alive) they were desperate to help not all people are ignorant
