AyeMr Atkins
34Don't think it's mine with 35
There's time
I'm down to 50, but I'm having to pull more single's now than the other 900 put together, its amazing how much protein there is in the grass after a little bit of moisture. But the good news is that welsh ewes will take to lambs without even coming in, so not so bad when you find dead ones on the first round.
Can't see clipping starting any time soon - first day in ewes was 28th May last year (we had 580 ewes and hoggs shorn by 2nd June!). Wouldn't think even the dry hoggs be ready then this time round...
Lambs are needing cocci dose so I think that's tomorrow job. Not looking forward to it in this weather!
Lost a ewe to pneumonia yesterday in the storm. Highest hills round us are all white this morning. Winter needs to fudge off
To be honest, weather wise this whole year wants to fudge off.
That's it for another year
Its not been as enjoyable this year..
Glad it finished...
Clipping next
Well, it's 7 degrees (feels like 3 in the bloomin wind ) and why's that ewe over there limping .........Can't see clipping starting any time soon

Don't worry guys, we may well have to be clipping sooner than we think.
What a year - no sooner is one crisis is over, we lurch uncontrollably into another
P.S. 4 lambed yesterday - just one set of twins left.
