[QUOTE="Kingcustard, post: 8151636, member: 90692"] That's me done for the year, a few empties that are showing a bit of udder as the tups are still in with them but they can take their chances on being seen once a day. Nice big pair of NZ Suffolks out of an easycare, [USER=731]@easyram1[/USER] still doing what it says on the tin. Made the decision and will be all shredders next year for the outside lambers and if the right stock comes up will just convert completely. Cracking lambs that grow like mushrooms and ewes that live off some of the worst ground in the county, with no shearing, hard feed, dagging, clipping or housing. Not for everyone but as I approach 50 I need to start planning for when I am not fit enough to dag dirty arses and shear ewes, and will love being able to check sheep when I want, not guessing when I think the ewes may have got backed and racing round 19 fields of sheep to try and save them. I must say this thread has kept me sane, if I only spoke to the neighbours who never lose a lamb or a ewe I'd be thinking I was in the wrong job. It ls nice to know even the real experts lose lambs and ewes and have the occasional f@ck up along the way. [ATTACH type="full" width="283px"]1037963[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
