Personally hate the last two weeks before they start, always a few hassles and every year you seem to prevent something and get something different the next year

I was only thinking its to quiet, theres the problem thinking, should never think cos you know as soon as it pops in your head youve gone and done it, but like you say the first 2 to 3 weeks before the start your just waiting to see 3hat the buggers are goin to throw at you

Has anyone got any tips how to attach feed barriers to a concrete floor in m lambing shed without digging up and putting sockets in or leaving rawl bolts sticking up once they are unbolted I use the same shed for storing barley in at harvest time?

 

[firther]

no run up to lambing I bloody dread, just 2 weeks away now though.

I've hardly any grass but more than normal as well, But its harder knowing how much to feed em than a normal year, as any one else found that. They look just about right so fingers crossed

It's a bit like this...........
...........................................

Too much and it's hung lambs and not enough and it's TLD and they're short of milk

Feeding always a juggling act to get right, to much and lambs are to big, not enough no milk, think i might of over done it there looking like they'll burst soon

 

[yellowbelly]

always a juggling act

..and this.....

....coupled with the fact that we must be a bunch of clowns to even consider keeping sheep then I reckon we should all pack 'em in and join a circus

Started lambing the crosses and culls early. Meant to sell them last year but they got put back in lamb so going to be selling with lambs at foot.

Gave this girl a helping hand. He's a Lleyn x Welsh. His father is top 5% EBV.

Anyone else castrating their Rams this year?

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Thought it must be about that time o year, just put mine on the truck to happy ever after today, a few wee hogg lambs from the second cycle to go late when the price comes up

other than these sorta days, sheep are just
