[QUOTE="ladycrofter, post: 9267025, member: 616"] Link please. Thanks. So glad to read many not keeping them past four crop. We've had some tough discussions over the last year about culling and now the statistics from this year tell us that 4 is enough. We had thought 5 crop but my Dead List says no. So far: 1 Prolapse - already marked 2023 and missed 2 Prolapse - 5 crop 3 No milk and 2 on the bottle - 5 crop and being generous here 🤬 4 Left behind a slightly brain damaged twin - 5 crop and 1 on the bottle ( ok now) 5 Mastitis and lame - 5 crop, one side now working and sound with 1 surviving twin 6 Global health collapse and died with trips inside - 4 crop 7 Died - "old" and no explanation why she's still here 😠 90% the work NOT related to weather has been due to old sheep. Yes we get the rare twitchy gimmer, wobbly lamb, etc. And we have been bringing ones inside born late in the day due to weather, the wind chill was1.2 at 5am today. But bottom line, no longer disputed, 5 crop are going and probably most, if not all, 4 crop. The gubbins just doesn't work as well by then. [/QUOTE]
