2 weeks ago the I had a ewe die from a hung cleaning, walked out of the shed and the dead lorry turned up, he had got the wrong farm but I was thinking they must have some amazing alert system that let's them know when a ewe is 5 minuted from death haha
Or when they leave and say something like "i ll be seeing you"...........................yeah,too right you will,but hopefully not for a long time.It's when he starts sending a Xmas card with looking forward to seeing you in the new year written inside that you need to get worried
Thats what i thought.Who the hell would choose to lamb in cold weather like this? Give me pleasantly warm all the time.You really do see it all on this forum ...cold weather is better than hot for lambing?
Colds ok, it’s the wet that’s the killer. But we probably don’t get real cold.
Only difference is they lamb like mad when it’s crap weather….when it’s hot they p!ss about forever

Like when farmers get chosen to be the face of a fert company or the McDonald's TV adverts..... I'd be the face of North East Fallen Stock haha...Or get an invitation to the knackery's Christmas night out
Well I've had 8/9 yearlings cast last few days, 4 since yesterday. Been v quiet before then which is odd cause u usually get a warning 3/4 weeks pre due date but nothing up until now right at the v end of pregnancy. We're due in 3/4 days so I'm jus gonna have to ride it out although we've obviously got a touch of summut.....? It looks a bit like toxo to me, whether I'll look into it I dunno sometimes u jus gotta put up with fecking the joys of sheep & where do u draw the line with vaccinations...? We had campylobactor last yr - a new yr a new illness with sheep
I suppose anywhere south of cumbria their cold is our warm!
That’s could be it’s own thread, “what could you be the face of”. I would be draxxin, me stood there covered in blue spray with a needle in my hand.

As long as Vet confirms an OK, it is a cheap prophylactic treatment.
You have sheep, so have your farm programmed in GPS....
When mine were slipping there were lots of lambs that probably could have been alive but they were coming out in the bag and so suffocating if I wasn't there at the right time. Not saying the lambs would have been good but they may have had a chance.

Annoying when you spend time pulling a rotten lamb then the bitch dies anyway! I pulled 4 dead quads out of a ewe the other day and she died within 6 hours - would have saved the knackery price of half a bag of lambs if I'd just left her alone.
Why wouldn’t she have died anyway?
I’ve heard of that myth.
I meant surly the 4 rotten lbs is what killed her.
Is your ewe that you stuffed the sausages back in still aliveI’ve heard of that myth.
