Coming Home For Lambing.

[Gator]

Few from this week. Made a start on the lambing shed.
Pulled this lot down and steam cleaned it

Then mucked out

Then put all the lamb pens up

Nowt like being ready, just lime to put down and straw then ready for the off

 

[Nithsdale]

More organized than me @Gator !!

I could start anytime, she hasn't been mucked out yet there's also a big pigeon problem to sort (they've made a hell of a mess in the byre)

But I did make a new heat box... just incase

I was going to buy a Solway recycling plastic one... but not at £300 then saw wooden ones made out of ply for the same money
Decided I could make my own

My bike has been away (a week ) for its pre lambing service... the bloody Honda has wrecked my back so I'v not done much physical this week. Hope it's better next week, theres 500 ewes to jag

Will have to get the drone fired up again and see if I can still drive it with out smashing it up and mind mi fingers this time

No idea how I ever managed when it was the main bike!! Suspension is too stiff, and it's set fairly soft! Every lump bump and stone or jolt from the trailer/snacker goes right up your spine!!

No worries, brother and dad are here if I'm struggling but cheers.

Looks decent, thus is mine

Lid is attached now... quite a bit bigger, but needs to be as we put calves in it too sometimes - although not so much since we moved to calving inside. Used the heater from the old one

Just the job.
Do you put divisions inside?

Very reasonable - seeing how it comes complete with a lamb

No, the old one did have at one time... but they got took out/lost... I just put a mark on each lamb and it's mother so I know which ewe it belongs, sit them all in together and if really bad throw an old feed sack over them like a blanket. Never had any bothers with rejection

Look closer, there's 2 lambs in it

 

[yellowbelly]

Even better value than I first thought then
