This is the wettest longest winter I’ve ever known. Just seems to be no end in sightjust under 4 weeks to go here, never a known a winter so wet and go on so long, i don't know who pushed me to be a farmer and a roofer when i were younger
If winters like this become the norm I’ll be going to night school for some reeducationJust a normal winter to us, 1 in 10 might be better but rest just like this .
Now you will maybe realise why our cows are inside 7 or 8 months of the year!If winters like this become the norm I’ll be going to night school for some reeducation

Metacam / loxicom and alamycin as it’s la ?Spinal abscess, just found one of his back legs, 2 weeks old.
Whats the best class of antibiotic to give?
I have Alamycin, Betamox, Draxinn
Also have anti inflammatory
They would probably be worth noting if they all survived.Bloody sheep for you turned out a batch of ewes and week old lambs yesterday afternoon. Farther went and checked them this morning first thing all sound ... gone back to feed them now 1 lamb dead for no apprent reason
I had a yearling slip it’s lambs Friday morning, fortnight from lambing. All jabbed for enzo and toxo. Hopefully just one of them things.We are having a few slip lambs, all yearlings so I’m thinking toxo atm, the vets out on Friday anyway so will get them tested. He have some dodgy 4 year old straw so could have come from that. Still 18 days to go until due date, worst time of the year for shepherds I think.
yea its been shocking its cost us 1000s unfortunately , im hust hoping things even em selves out this yearThis is the wettest longest winter I’ve ever known. Just seems to be no end in sight
I am starting to get concerned, three weeks from lambing and another ewe has pushed her insides out , she died before I could put her out of her misery , that’s two now on top of two that slipped their lambsPicked another dead lamb up this morning .. if we have another i think it we will have to have the vet do a postmortem to see what it is. Bloody sheep when you think its going well with them there always seems to be something
They can be such a disapointing animal sometimes you just think its going right then something else happens with them. Just gotta keep odding on and hope for bestI am starting to get concerned, three weeks from lambing and another ewe has pushed her insides out , she died before I could put her out of her misery , that’s two now on top of two that slipped their lambs
