How's the elf, @montydog ?
Have missed this thread, but manflu

I have had a touch of it and it isn't much fun in the heat either

Glad to see all is under control, and how under control everyone is despite a
few days/weeks/months of weather

Fingers crossed spring comes early up there

On the mend thanks Pete
Knocked me for 6 but have to soldier on
First morning I've woken up without it being soaked in sweat but it feels like I've cracked a rib with constant coughing
Got good people here who sent messages offering help

After about a couple of weeks I have finally caught up, this thread has been great! As a young lad getting started this thread has taught me a lot and also made me even more determined to pursue a career as a shepherd. Ive only got 12 at the moment but that will sure change, like i said bloody good read this @Gator what a good team and flock of sheep, youve definitley encouraged me, shame more younger people dont get to see farming through the eyes of true farmers who love what they do and the traditional methods that are still used by the true hard farmers who live to farm. Like i said bloody good thread keep it up mate

You are right, this is a fantastic thread and one of the reasons I signed up to TFF is so I could see the photos properly. I’ve only a couple of pet sheep myself now but rent out our fields to a friend with sheep so feel I still have a large flock to look after without the responsibility

Good luck with your future career as a shepherd.

I made some brackets and bolted them to the wall, made drop pins bolted to the hurdle so they just drop in the bracket, cut a piece out of the hurdle so the water pipe would fit and jobs a good un
