Is This Bad Husbandry?

[glasshouse]

Landlords dream of a better tenant
And tenants dream of no landlords.

 

[David.]

ah right. Do you know, I interpreted that as habitual drink driving

Might resolve even quicker, if it were.

 

[neilo]

Did not need to. He surrendered the tenancy for cash.

Ah, so you’re trying to replicate that situation by trying to make a claim of bad husbandry?

I don’t know you, but I hope he has good advice.

I've been gone for 6 hours and this thread is still going .
Much longer and that lamb in the adopter will be ready for market.

Yes yes, that’s all very well, but I have read through every damn post on this interminable flipping thread, and I am still no nearer finding out what happened to the blooming horse, did they ever manage to move it or not?

 

[Happy at it]

The flystrike and his attitude towards it was the original spark, so yeah husbandry is definitely a big part of it.

What was so bad about his attitude if you don't mind me asking? As much as it is very annoying to lose a lamb because of it, and in an ideal world it shouldn't happen, sheep can get to a bad state very quickly at times with it.

I'm only disappointed that no-one has utilised my deliberately embedded, open goal opportunity to post a classic Monty Python sketch.

There was no previous legal claim for bad husbandry, because I did not take photos.
If he was going to make it easy for me, sure as hell am I going to take full advantage, as I have already said up thread.
And yes, he did have a very good lawyer.
Just being a landlord does not make me a manipulative liar trying to screw tenants.
Difficult to believe for most tenants on here probably. I think that is what is driving this thread. The husbandry answers to my op question have stopped. There was lots of good advice.

There were a few lambs in bad condition and some dead ones. It was impossible to believe they were being looked at regularly enough. When I told him about it he was flippant and told me to talk to his shepherd, like it was not his problem. I think he is subletting, but that will be easy to find out when I get the name of his shepherd.

This isn't to do with the ewe in the stocks is it?

Like click bait this thread, seems the LL knows what’s what, knows the tennant, knows what’s going on, but just doesn know what a lamb adopter is! ( does now) but more and more stories come out, you can sort of paint a picture in your own head of the type of guy he is!

 

[Blue.]

I had it all summed up in the 3rd post in the tread.

 

[Forkdriver]

He has been incredibly discourteous to me previously.

I wonder why

 

[Happy at it]

I don't know why everyone is being so suspicious of the op, you can never be too careful.

I signed an agreement with a woman once, and she is now currently living in my house. To my horror I've found she's currently confining what seems to be like a little human in a cage approx,5x3 at nights with nothing but a little rubber thing stuck in its mouth, is this bad husbandry?

Did she want access rights too?

Sheep go downhill very fast.. for example .. I have a batch of 350 sheep I moved too grass Friday evening .. checked them mid day Saturday and there was 3 dead ones and 13 almost dead ones.. I treated them as best I could, came back 2 hours later and 8 of them had got up and walked off happy as Larry and 3 more were dead … sheep are not humans they respond too treatment rapidly but die / get in a state equally rapidly … move back too the city please jobs hard enough without people like you questioning things all the time

What happened to the other two?

Was it flystrike?
How much of the carcasses had been eaten?
I grew up and live in the Westcountry, besides where would I park my 1290?
You are not the shepherd and appear to have plenty of time for this thread.
Is this not the correct place to ask about a farming issue?

A bit OT, but a lecturer in sheepology told me that an adopter works because it forces a ewe to accept a lamb that is strange to it and that it would otherwise reject. The adopter allows the lamb to drink that ewe's milk. As we all know, ewes recognise their lambs by the scent (and sound, of course). So the scientific explanation of how the adopter works is that after the ewe's milk has passed through the lamb, the lamb will take on the scent of the adopting ewe. That sounds like sense to me. For the same reason, a ewe will more readily accept an orphan lamb if it's (ewe's) olfactory senses are dulled by some way, either by masking it with another strong scent or using some anaesthetic to numb the olfactory nerves.

Some things we do in farming may look cruel and primitive, but we do what we do because it benefits the animal and if someone has the time to explain it usually makes sense. Unfortunately, the one thing we do not have during lambing is the time to stop and answer questions!

I have read that Lynx Africa works really well for that.

Still alive probably be dead shortly
