no diary entry today....having a 'rage episode' :oops: ....taken a 'chill pill' so hopefully alright later😗😁
Go on spin let's have an entry when your all riled up it might make good reading and if nothing else will get us a step closer to our bacon rolls and coffee.....can I have an egg in mine?????

Are you sure you took a proper chill pill and not a vitamin D??

Ha ha,this lot are pedigree,doing their bit for the local breed and supposed to fit in with everything else that goes on here but they struggle with that concept sometimes!!this may make it to a new page.... Sorry spin u were saying?!😃

Very carefully bred harlequin blend, these be. The ones with Lleyn dominant have the lev1t4t10n gene present but that's tempered with Dorset w00llyfr1ng3 and h34vyl3gs genes (and vice versa). There are other influences at near homeopathic presence.

Quite why there were 50% more ewe lambs in the A flock this year than last is anybody's guess, but there's plenty of choice 🤷‍♀️
[/QUOTE] I see a lot of thought went into their breeding🤣🤣

OH alright then :rolleyes: ...truth be told i finally ran outta 'steam' today it's been a month since admiral got poorly and i'm feeling the extra strain:rolleyes:.....bare essentials + got right early lambed ewes+ lambs back home....just 13 ewes and twenty lambs...father unknown😗...8 for bopeep to shear as a trial...i have my doubts that she can do it though:(.....ewes are fekkin huge even by my standards....a wild suffolk and two llama sized poll dorsets included:oops:

flaked out this afternoon....came home....read a bit about RT and flipped......got another email from nfu about some training cr@p for 'grocery somat' and typed reply only to be told it was a 'no reply' email:mad:......still got 'minnys vlog' to come this week...i don't how much more of that patronising bitch i can take:mad:

in other news i used the 'chat function' on irelands website to tell them i was gracing their auction on the twenty third but had no intention of going thru the 'whole photo id/utility bill malarky' to register....they replied that ,obviously, as 'lord spin of the cycle' i had no need to do any of that....saved from degrading myself from the 'unwashed' i calmed down a bit😁

Wow 😲

I'd no idea you were so heavily into the genetic side of things. Talk about lights and bushels :woot:

That lev1t410n gene looks very interesting - could be useful in our Lincolnshire Leaper breeding project.

The Lincolnshire Leapers are well documented on here (complete with video evidence). We've yet to see the Norfolk Hurdlers or, for that matter, @primmiemoo 's Devon Hoppers - all we have is anecdotal evidence.
