Just done a caesarian this morning doubt I'll see any money out of that calf.

At least you have a cow and calf to sell at some point rather than a disposing bill.

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.

If you shoot lame ones but sell pet lambs I’m assuming you must have ran out of bullets??

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?

Is it alive ?? Could have been a little calf born in a skin, same difference I suppose

If you got lambs bout 20kgs how long would it take to get them to just over 40kgs if you fed them with cake too?

Everything, a lame sheep probably isn't worth as much as a non lame sheep
