Is that a silage field they’ve broken into. Major grass envy ,,,,,,,!!!????
It had no sheep out there since October. They have been away on beet (at considerable cost) but it has left a nice bit for them.
Well fed but not well bred, bottom end mules that I can’t sell and Welsh cross Suffolks.ive got some grass envy now
That does look dry.
Even the dairy boys will have grass envy let alone us poorer livestock farmers

Raining here, today. I knew I'd break the drought by watering the pots with flowers yesterday. There's hundreds of muck waiting to wash in, so this week should see some grass coming in front of the A flock couples.
Is there a female form for the name Lazarus? Got a ewe scanned with a double (although looks like she's carrying 4) who's needed reviving 6 times in the last week. Ate up fully this morning, so it's
she's back into balance from now on.

Knew it was too quiet here. 6 days to go and only a couple of small prolapses.
bang this morning 1 stone dead and 2 pushed the whole shebang out
3 for the dead cart on a Monday morning

3 dead ewes here this morning too. My second quad lambed one wee dead lamb by herself then breathed her last. Couple of folk told me to put them in the fat ring with the empties - really wish I'd listened.
2 "sorted" prolapses showed signs of starting at bedtime last night but were too tight and smelly to do anything with so put down. One of them only prolapsed Saturday teatime and was put back in quickly and cleanly yet she was really stinking. Seemed a bit quick so is it possible the lambs died first and triggered the prolapse?

I had one with a uterine prolapse this morning, 3 days after she lambed, with the whole lot inside out.
Got her back to the yard, dangled from the pallet forks so gravity would help, and quietly slipped the whole lot back in and inverted nicely. Very pleased with myself, I stitched her up while she was hanging quietly, gave her a shot of Metacam and another of antibiotic, and gently lowered her to the ground.
As soon as she laid down, she took a sudden gasp and keeled over dead. Feckin’ sheep.
