Coming Home For Lambing.

[Gator]

I'd rather not think about it just yet

Same here, but getting that lass in this time.

Did 60 ewes on Thursday. 1 or 2 bad ones but they were decent - clipped a lot worse!

Doing 160 ewes on Tuesday and then 140 dry hoggs on Wednesday... there's another 200 I think will clip, but I'm getting my jag on Thursday morning and I've been told not to plan any work for Thurs or Fri just in case I take a reaction

Aye dont plan any clipping after the vaccine i was in my bed for 2 days after my first one but fine after my second.

Both jags?! You old bugger!

Aye, brother had a running fever for 24hrs after first jag. Best to play it safe

Sounds promising. First jag floored me for 24 hours, getting second one Wednesday lunchtime.

If I'd had to bet on who'd have been the first to say something like that I'd have won! Odds wouldn't have been great though.

I reckon you’ve thick enough skin to enjoy the banter ! I was out west today visiting the olds, and my brother. He is storing a couple of big valtra tractors and dump trailers on behalf of Deans who are building some big wind farm out your way . Are they near you ?

 

[AftonShepherd]

Big one going up between Dalmellington and Carsphairn but not sure who's doing it.

Deans the civil engineering firm must be in on it . The pollock boys from Dalrymple who do the vermin control work for them , hence using my Brother as the tractor store !

 

[Farmer_Joe]

Tups will clip and the dry hoggs... but not much hope for the ewes!

I started on ewes here today, last year I've no interest in even thinking about it yet

[blackieman83]

Thout had finished but found this hopefully that's the last

 

[Gator]

They looking ready

 

[Nithsdale]

Aye they look good!

Nicer weather with you too! Was set up to put 140 ewes in the shed last night. Was dull all day but no rain forecast til late, 4:30 I decided to get my tea then go fetch the ewes in 7 or 8pm... started pissing down just after 5 and didn't stop til after I went to bed

6am things were still soaking. It's drying up now but not great so no much getting done today. The team is busy tomorrow so I've 50 running by themselves I'll nip off on my own, keep things moving. Hopefully get them in the shed tonight
