Are the empty texels all from the same breeding?


Just ran the pures back in went through the tags etc. It's still shyte weather here I'm fvcking sick of it now.

The 6 empty;

2 were from the group bought at Longtown inlamb in February. 1 of them I'm not fussed she's not in lamb, the other I'm quite disappointed.

2 are from the Balgray Hill group I bought as gimmers at Carlisle. 1 of which was the girl who melted like snow off a dyke in September - dosed her with everything under the sun and kept her due to the retention so she ran with the tup.. not really surprised she's empty but she's in some fettle now! The other one had a tight lambing last time so I'm thinking maybe a bit of damage inside - she's a good ewe so a bit disappointed she's not in lamb.

2 are homebred. 1 repeated twice last year and David couldn't decide if she was very very late or empty so I kept her (she didn't lamb). She's repeated this time again and is definitely empty. Not sure why I didn't kill her through the summer but nevermind...
The other isn't anything special so I'm not fussed she's empty




Might have to try and swap the empties for some inlamb ones

Why do we have children? I’ve just come in for a brew and young master Robbie mule is sat on the rug with a terrys chocolate orange half eaten. On the scrap of cardboard I can see if the packaging it says “Da” 😑😑 I was looking forward to that when all the other stuff has been finished off
At least he’s not yet emulating his big bro by whacking you in the knackers with a hammer !
Eh Thor !💪😂

Hmmmm. Hurting someone physically is pretty low...


But psychologically abusing someone is much worse. Muley is hurting - that pain is going to linger with him until the boy is 25....
Psychological torture would be hiding his green cammo outfit !
Young Robbie scoffing his chocolate orange is doing him ( and Mrs Mule ) a favour .
A moment on the lips , a lifetime on the hips !
Then again, no Wrinkles on a full balloon!😳
