Kelvin's Farm on BBC

[puntabrava]

Wants to be profitable....rents out 2/3rds of the land, buys a new JD. Makes chain harrowing rather pricey! And, he's being 'advised' by someone who's sheep are sh1t high with feet that haven't been touched for way too long. Good luck with it (but don't give up the acting). As they say 'farming...gives you a nice place to live'.

I know not too much about sheep having been involved in a few Suffolk’s to eat the orchards down, I remember they went lame but those maggots in the program slightly traumatised me,is this fairly mainstream for a flock of 100 or more?

NO!!! Havnt seen one like that for years and years, sort of thing I only see in pictures in vet books etc.

I think I’ve got 2 slightly lame ewes here at the moment but not worth catching in a field over but they will be looked at when next in. It’s usually a chipping stuck in the hooves here from running on lanes
