Sorry to Mrs WF and you for your loss, @Wood field .

Been a heck of a year already!
But we soldier on

End of first cycle. One less hogg triplet to go. She had one proper lamb (for a hogg), and two very lively tiddlers. She took against the larger tiddler, but he's adopted on successfully, along with the smaller of a hogg double ~ to a ewe that presented a humongous single that took one look at the world, and one breath before he snuffed it.

That's the first lambing to need a load of gell. Glad it wasn't my hand taking the brunt. I haven't lambed many this year, and haven't been called upon to talk anyone through a tricky one. The ewe's recovered very quickly. Anti-inflamatory really helps.

Game changer really.....

Winding down now , one or two moor ewes to lamb but they are back on the moor ( but within sight of the kitchen window)
Not many easycares left , so after a bit of a hectic few weeks and with the boss away , I found some local highland rump steak in the freezer , simple fry with some onion and a few beers … hic

@Wood field , Please pass on my condolences to your good lady.

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting either of you but somehow, through the magic of TFF, I feel I know you both well.

Thank you , it’s a funny thing the internet.
This thread above all others seems to bring a sense of camaraderie ( that’s a hell of a word after 4 buds)
