Yea seen as your offering I'll blame you ??? some of them in daylight have needed a pull, just night 1s been straight forward, wishing I'd never said this though???

I HATE SHEARLINGS.......:mad:???,
spent the last hour doin the wall of death round the pen, tied said ewe to the gate wi more string thans on half a dozen 6 stringers only to have the lamb want to stick its head reet up in its arm pit,I get the tit in its mouth and straight back up the arm pit.....ffs..$#@*$#@!@$#




And breath
 
Just started lambing here. My twin mob has 10 ewes lambed for 19 live lambs so far. One stillborn today.
I also have another I think will die. Huge lump on his neck. Vet thought it was a hematoma from being stepped on and gave it anti inflammatory but no change in a day. I think it’s a tumour and doubt the lamb will survive its second night. I have been putting it on a test to make sure it gets a drink, but it is looking skinnier than it’s twin now.
