Confessions of the Sheep/Beef Cattle/Pig Addicts

2-4 weeks… I don’t really need them gone… but market reports seem too make it look like economic sense…

I would think £75 a life for that age. I’m think of getting rid of some of mine but they are only just lamber so will probably be to young in 3 weeks.

I’ll be happy at that .. I’ll bring them home too fatten and finish the whole family if less than £200

Anyone used Roussins on their ewe lambs before ?
@spark_28 , how you getting on with the ones that had them rather than your rogue visiting blackie ?
Too many of my beltex lambs have been very bare . Not sure really why as this was their 3rd season, and the last 2 years seemed ok .
Just keen to try something different rather than go beltex again .
Jnr management thinks we should tip them with a blackie , as they’re likely to be wee and survive .
It would also give @Anymulewilldo something to bid on at Longtown store sale !
Who wouldn’t want a Romney cross blackie !

What about a South Country Cheviot tup. Tidy lambs that are up and sucking in no time and very weather proof.

That’s an idea !
Would the offspring be called a perendale if I was a kiwi ?

Have they not got big heads and legs when born?

Dry enough to get the hairdressers car across fields again.

Is £75 a life just around the normal trade?

Not Southies. Extreme Park type Northies, particularly from Northern Scotland, have the big heads and heavy bone.

You know what I told you to do the other day? Well, do that again!

I’ve taken the sheep and lambs off some of our mowing ground this afternoon a month earlier than normal as the lambs are covered in mud and I just can’t look at them on there any longer

Was it the same thing you were telling everyone else to do that day as well, you really had seen your arse that day

Is the dog a cross of muley and gecko breeding lines: touring round looking for somewhere to get stuck whilst barking orders at staff?

Even the rakes are worth saving at the moment usually find out why they’re not worth saving after a day or 2 trying though

Quite possibly
