Indoor lambing set up costs

[Al R]

23rd of March was the first day of proper beast from the east just found a picture of my dads milk tanker buried in snow on our drive in cumbria he’d parked at the end of the lane too wait for us too clear the snow off for him that was only 6inches deep, by the time we got too him he couldn’t open his cab door a drift had buried it

End of Feb 2018 we last had frost and 1-2nd March we had snow last.

A bit off piste but are anyone else’s ewes steady. First hundred here were quick but slowed down a lot for last 4-5 days.

Mine are slow last few days too but looks like they're about gather pace for a busy second week, judging by last rounds.

Do you think cold weather has something to do with it.

No idea to be honest

Glad I’m not the only one, prefer it when they get on with it.

Everyone I know this year had a slow lambing this year.... know a bloke who tipped 500 for 4 weeks then had a 2 week break then tipped another 300 ...

His batch of 500 didn’t start lambing until the start of the 2 week break [emoji23]

Mine lambed like mad for first 2 week then the last 60 took 4 weeks even though tup was only in for 3 weeks

Farmers... typically men, statistically old... only lamb indoors so they can get a posse of pretty young social media obsessed lassies to come in and pee about bent over in their tight leggings





F**king pervs.





In other news, i'm lambing 5000 inside next year!

You joke ...... but if everyone went outdoor lambing, it would knacker the job for the social media shepherdesses. I would hazard a guess that not many of them would head out into the lambing fields.

They'd better. I'm back at work next week and my wife is a quad bike novice and had a back op just over three months ago. Ms Sturgeon has inconveniently sent our eldest back to school full-time as well!

Ours took 10 days too warm up this year. Had 2 students just stood there waiting for something too do!

My girls here quite often joke about Instagram V reality The last serious downpour we had was late Feb and the girl working with me changed clothes twice before lunch and then borrowed my wife’s clothes and waterproofs, it was that muddy in the rappa the gates stayed where they were when we took the pins out a few days later, I remember bolusing and I couldn’t lift my wellies out of the mud so I just shuffled my legs along

That's why many of us lamb inside, and hire them. Most of them are raving Nymphos, and our wives indoors have no idea what goes on.

You lot who lamb outside don't know what you're missing.

Be much more cost effective to pay prostitution when you finish and let them lamb outside.

Before lambing me and my mate where crutching ewe lambs on big racing stables, we couldn’t believe how the girls swarmed around the young jockeys. I said all the girls want a bit jockey but poor old shep doesn’t get any. I now seems I was wrong and they do want a price of old shep.

I had one of these social media sheperdess’s lamb for me this year, if you looked at her social media she was idea and she would run the place while I had a few hours kip.... she wasn’t perfect and I had too guide her a hell of a lot but I’d still take her over pretty much any male i know that does contract lambing...

There are plenty are there to work and they will graft and do a job no problems.

But there's a few think of themselves as 'celebrity' ... avoid at all costs.




But. You could employ anyone and get that issue - even if they've never heard of Social Media

I think a good rule of thumb is if they spend half their lives at social media self promotion, probably best avoided. But there are plenty of very very good female shepherd, they just don’t spend their lives playing make believe on the internet.

Remember to turn the lambing camera off though
