Jobs cursed ! Lambing one after another, I haven’t got near the plumbing Yet 
despite what’s said about youngsters, these two are a credit!
just a bit to enthusiastic for me

Last thing you need especially at lambing, hope your ok soonShepherd down. Me! Hurted leg. Now have this on tap! ~
Flarin capsules are pretty good. Better than bog standard ibuprofen and seem to last a lot longer. My metal leg is giving me a lot of grief currently and they take the edge off.Shepherd down. Me! Hurted leg. Now have this on tap! ~

Old war wound
with an impressive piece of hardware hammered down the middle of my shin bone from my knee to my ankle. Usually tickles along at a steady 3 or 4 out of 10 on the pain scale but recently its been creeping up to a 6 or 7. Probably going to have to get it looked at when I've got some free time but I don't want the rod taking out particularly as it'll be a fairly rough surgery involving a big hammer!

Yep, you've got the ewes. Give them 7 months, and they'll probably give you 6 lambs each

Lost a battle today.
Older lady, last year to be tupped, scanned for triplets
just what she didn't need. Brought in last week to keep an eye, she was getting weaker by the day. And huge, just massive, but not due until mid April. Further declining once in, in spite of TLD, calciject, AB, offered every sort of feed, best hay, grass. Having to help her get up these last few days. Not drinking much either, then shouted at me yesterday and drank several litres a bit at a time. Dead this morning. At least she had her last week on a clean dry bed. You just keep trying even when you know what's coming.
