Now just who could this anonymous "Him" be.....?@yellow belly @Wood field I know the cure. Tups go in, tups COME OUT. Took a few years to work him around to this and now he's shortening it up even more - two cycles, the end .
It's a bit of a mind change to do it, also because of the time of year. You feel like you've accomplished something in the autumn, tupping groups sorted, dosing etc done, tups out. But then have to gear up again just before Christmas to gather everything in and pull the tups out and get them tucked away for winter. Worth it!!! May 12 it's over here. Hopefully long before.
Could be. Could be the lamb's behaviour wasn't right? The ewe mistook it for a predator? I really don't know what goes on in the sheepy brain to bring on a red mist episode like that. Thankfully, it's extraordinarily rare.'kin things. Like a switch goes on!
Sheep equivilant of PND?
That's what we already do but anything tupped right at the end of the second cycle sometimes get missed by our scanner man.@yellow belly @Wood field I know the cure. Tups go in, tups COME OUT.
It's a sheep .........What on earth could have made her do that!
