Coming Home For Lambing.

very clever and good idea

On a 20 litres mix there is no waste now where as before you had about half an inch of sediment

Best way to feed pet lambs, made my own milk stirring machine, for this year a laboratory magnet stirrer, £50 from Amazon works a treat on a timer 15 mins every hour View attachment 953778View attachment 953779View attachment 953780View attachment 953781View attachment 953782

So, if I inderstand you right, you mix it cold, the stirrer stirs the cold mix and the Heatwave warms it up as the lambs draw it through to the teats?

Looks a good rig

 

[FIL46]

Spot on, I have used the heat wave for a few years now with good results but found you had a lot of waste by the time the lambs got through the milk, stumbled across the stirrer online and thought I can make that works perfect you need a flat bottom tub and not to thick, thanks for the

How’s wee Jimmy lamb getting on @Gator ?
Still got it’s party frock on ?

Wee Jimmy-girl is romping on mother love her to bits, had to tek the frock off poor little bugger could hardly walk, its like a little barrel on match stick legs

 

[Gator]

On my wish list for next year, was wondering how to keep the milk mixed and stop it from settling , great idea

 

[Bill dog]

That is a great idea, but I’m too miserable for high tech stuff. I keep a whisk beside the heatwave and everyone has been told if they’re passing , give it a stir !

It's not just your way - we've had two separate incidents (that we know about) in the last couple of weeks.
Luckily no serious damage done other than a month old lamb in a dyke two fields away from where he should have been

hopefully now things are starting to open up a bit, some of these so called people will start going back to what they were doing before covid

Trouble is there seems to be a lot more folks round here that have acquired dogs during lockdown.

A lot of different faces (plus dogs) seem to be walking about all over the place.

There all over the place here, on a weekend it's like Blackpool , trying to get to the farm is a nightmare wi cars parked, double parked in places. No consideration whats so ever. I've 250 ewes un lambs to move back to the other part of the moor which is now rife wi dog wakers , im dreading turning back, can see alot of miss mothering happening

its the same around here, worrying thing is i bet a good % of these new pets aren't wanted when things are more normal

you've had enough to worry about at lambing wi out these added problems, but these folk just don't give a shite

Personally I cant see it improving, the feckers know where we are now, might be abit quieter in the week but get a warm weekend and there'll be more than ever ...picnics in mowing fields kids wi footballs. Over Easter we've been plaged wi Jews, now there a breed on there own and need some educating

 

[Gator]

Update...
Remember the this ewe that got worried back in November, the woman's in court tomorrow so hopefully get a result.

Ya not wrong mate, it's certainly been a testing year so far and at times it's been bloody hard to keep motivated.

 

[Gator]

Down to the last 26 ta lamb, buggers av slowed reet down. Might be done for clipping time
