Anyone got a picture of the agrimin ones, what is wrong with them

Terrible flimsy things, like plastic tissue paper. Sorry I don't have any handy for a picture

Tear simply pulling them out of the box, our supplier says they are discontinued due to quality issues....no sh*t

Anyone had any issues with ewes abandoning lambs wearing macs?

Can happen occasionally, you can usually tell straightaway

Yes, i was doing some in the field tonight ready for the deluge tonight and a shearling would.not let her 2 near her. Watched her for 10 minutes and she was just backing away from them. Ended up taking them off.

When did they lamb? very fresh and still flighty?

We lamb indoors so they get a chance to get used to them in the pen. I have heard of issues in outdoor lambing

Bought my lambs in yesterday and the youngest still had its shearwell coat on 2 weeks after I turned it out most of them stayed on 7-10 days.

This morning. Don't usually bother outside just with the forecast for tonight thought I would do a few. Stopped after that.

You must have a different batch to me

in fact a few of mine look to have been stuffed in the bag extra maybe they are old ones that’s had the sun on them

they just rip open on the neck seam then get kicked off within minutes
