They can go a week over, from what I've come across.My first batch were due to finish on Sunday (tups were only in 2 weeks), had 2 sets of triplets born yesterday, how long over due date would you expect them to be? The next group is not due until 11th April and these are healthy full term lambs.
First assist tonight, 2 mahoosive lambs. Swollen head and legs back and ewe rather tight. Speaking as a novice shepherd, it's nice to have an easy one as a starter...
These Charollais sired lambs really are impressing me so far out of the EC ewes.
If they turn out like the ones we used to get when we had a few EC ewes, I don't think you'll be disappointed...These Charollais sired lambs really are impressing me so far out of the EC ewes. Lots of get up and go and good lambs.
Shhh, don't tell him, Pike.Steady…@neilo will get excited….but yes love a char sired lamb. @neilo

well at least you loads of grass, i just puddles en mudGround is saturated again after 18hrs of rain, admittedly light, but still wetting...

BUT.... what to do about the embarassment of the grass on the turnout field? Need a frost to slow it up a bit.... Weird old time.
And there was me thinking that burning some Colombian black meant something completely different!Yes anthracite, but it smells like coal tar , we let it go out and I am giving it a deep clean ( between bloody sheep problems)
Old chap said occasionally in the past the coal man said he couldn’t get uk coal so it
was columbian or some such
