Heifer overdue

[sjewart]

the sheep will be ok outside then ?

I'm no risking the blues out. Iv 27 lambers but 12 are expecting triplets and 2 sets of quads.

 

[sjewart]

What I know for sure is next year's bullers will be a.i'd 2/3 weeks earlier so I'm not in the same position next year. Aye any of the heifers may still go over again but they'll be calved down and out that shed well before I need it for my lambers.

Big lazy bull calf and feeling very comfortable, why ruin a good thing by being born?

That does indeed seem to be the case!

yep quite right
they had to fish me out by C-sec cos I knew where I was well off
strangely I have never been able to have a car with a sun roof as the compulsion to use it instead of the door is just to much

Or maybe lamb them later?
Will be more grass later than earlier, is my reasoning

That's true however we find for our tup lambs to compete size and condition wise with sellers selling similar down country we have to lamb them earlier than ideal. Buyers won't take our tups if they aren't big enough. Its a catch 22 ‍

all joking to one side it can be a worry when they don't get on with it, when you only have a few it is a bigger worry as its a bigger part of your herd, we have had a few do it and never intervened I would say if she looks happy and healthy then most likely things are ok but its your call to make
hope it goes well with her, how is the other one doing ?

I do like your threads I think you ask questions that many wouldn't as we are spose to know the answers

Thanks @Henarar for the vote of confidence. Sometimes I feel its a witch hunt on here so good to know someone gets something out my posts.

Yes I have little money and little knowledge. One disaster would finish my business. I started off with very little money in the business account and still I'm beg, borrowing and stealing to stay afloat [emoji23]

The red outfit is going well - thanks for asking. Calf is growing like a mushroom. Might have hoped for a better quality calf but we can't have everything.

Book a meal out for Friday night. Sure as you’re heading out the door the blab will be out. Always seems to happen here.

Don't say that we won't be able to take it

She still won't calve before the time you would have got back had you gone

When are we taking bets on what the next drama is going to be?!

 

[Azlett]

We had a cow that cakved 283/285 akways then one year went to 300.

After sleepless nights we gave up worrying at 295 in the certainty of disaster. And she xakved fine, normal calf, no help need.

Like I said I bet we all think it and worry about it we just don't put it on here but its what tff is for

The only stupid question is the one you never ask!
