[QUOTE="Green farmer, post: 7151135, member: 5969"] My quad died at the start of summer. Never had a sheep dog, so I've no way of catching me sheep. So, resorted to letting the sheep come to me. Plenty of penning and troughs. Ewes not a bother, young weaned lambs , more difficult. However as said previously, let in some ewes and the lambs will follow them into the penns. Take out ewes and away you go. also for working in penns, keep the penning tight ayou work through them. A ewe cannt run if their all tight together. Mealed a few lambs , a few days ago and within 5 days lambs are bawling at me when I enter paddock and running towards troughts. A few shake of oats or meal, costs around the same as a can of petrol for the quad. Going to try living without the quad over the winter and see how I get on. Must mention I've all 5 acre paddocks so the sheep ain't allowed to run wild either. Only issues I've seen so far are the easycare lambs are way more cautious and might give me some bother, but we'll see. [/QUOTE]
