I had a ewe on her back Tuesday morning with blood down her side, bloody crow had pecked a hole in her groin. Phone call to the vet and he stitched her, going fine now.B@stard crows
...'What's the lowest price you got?' Tracker.Or simply "Sheep!"
We probably all get the same .......'What's the lowest price you got?' Tracker.
That would really get rid of my depression and inferiority complex!
I’m sure someone on here had a heifer choke on afterbirth not long agoHad a heifer choke to death on its after birth collapse on its calf and smother it, one time I didn’t want two for the price of one. I thought only sheep could do such stupid things
Have always resisted after neighbour bought 6 and over 2 years reared 3 lambsCould be worse… I bought my mrs a couple pedigree beltexs last year for her birthday
so far we have
a 50% death rate
A 100% C section rate
A 0% rearing there own lambs rate
The money Iv spent on them I could have bought 30-40 ewe lambs for extra numbers
If it's dead and you've had to lamb it, where does the easy bit come in ?Getting towards the end of lambing, some big lambs appearing now.

2nd ewe hogg that's required assistance. Lamb dead unfortunately. Easy lambing credentials of @Woolless ram showing through.
It's the 2nd Hogg that need assistance. There's over 70 lambed unassisted. I've not worded my post very well.If it's dead and you've had to lamb it, where does the easy bit come in ?

No, but she's cull marked.What we all want to know though, is have you shot her for it yet?
Surely if its the end of lambing and big lambs appearing that's down to management, shouldn't you be wearing the cull tag or getting shot ?No, but she's cull marked.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.No. There's plenty of other sheep that have received identical management and no had stuck lambs.
It's always the ewes fault.
