Is there anything more annoying...

A sheep that doesn’t want its lambs

A sheep that only wants one of its lambs.

A sheep that you wet foster a triplet onto then it wants that one and not it’s own.

A sheep that lambs 2 and happily wanders off with 1 and not the other.

A sheep that has triplets and then when you turn it over it has mastitis

A sheep that lays on the best lamb and the runt survives.

A sheep that has triplets so you wet foster one of them onto a single, then next day one of her own is dead

A sheep with a massive bag and sod all in it

Sheep in general

Feel free to add anything that I’ve forgotten
Happy lambing

 

[livestock 1]

A sheep (or in my case more than one) who is inlamb and pisses off with any newborn lamb or lambs then subsequently dumps them miles away then starts the process again and again. Now penned up inside waiting to lamb. Still managing to tice newborn lambs into their pens.

 

[Nithsdale]

A lamb that f**ks off from its mother at every opportunity.

 

[Optimus]

Sheep that has 2 lambs loads of milk but wants neither lambs!!!

Are you getting a lot of these regularly?

I believe from past threads he has quite a few ewes with charollais blood, that'll explain it!

Neither is better than disliking one

Not regular no...just over the years you get to see all sorts lambing sheep

The charalois are the best mothers...I have about 3 different breeds

I bred pedigree charollais for about 10 years, they were the masters at many of the traits you listed above but other breeds can do all of the above as well.

I find mules can be as bad as any other. Butting hell out of a pair last night

 

[Bob the beef]

The sheep that spends 3 days trying to pinch other lambs then lambs herself and doesn’t want either of them.

ps
now has a blue tag and won’t get a chance to find love this November

Prolapses

 

[yellowbelly]

The ones I find particularly annoying incubate a lamb for 147 days, greedily chomp through all the grub that you 'lovingly' provide it with all winter, soak up money in boluses and vaccinations, lay down and lamb a smashing strong lamb and then can't be @rsed to get up and break the membrane, so the poor little sod drowns in it's own bag.

 

[Chris123]

Let’s look on the bright side at least we are doing it in the at the moment rather than the bloody ? or the mud we had a month ago

 

[Woolless]

It's been a crap morning here and I think I could tick off half that list today alone, culminating in a Hogg's lovely lamb drowning in a ditch .

Note to store lamb buyers that like to quibble the price: why don't you have a fecking go at lambing ewes!

 

[Gulli]

Lambs that insist on running after you instead of their mum when you turn them out.
f**k off!

Lambs that insist on running after you instead of their mum when you turn them out.
fudge off!

Or the quad bike

 

[poorsheepfarmer]

Successfully fostering triplet onto a single for the single to have another lamb 3 hours later

 

[GeorgeK]

The big fat barren ewe that sneaks inside with the others and gets fed all winter. At the end when everything else has lambed and it's just her left she looks so pleased with herself for fooling you
