Officially lamb tired!

[Old Boar]

I found myself tying back a gate. To nothing.
Looking at the washing line and thinking "that looks comfy!"
Tubing a lamb and finding you have not brought the syringe with you. So you untube and go to get it to find it was next to you in the jug next to the lamb....

So what are your symptoms?

I drove a Land Rover into an electricity pole in the middle of a field one year. My Dad was tamping then the day after he went to the local builder's merchants to fetch some hydrated lime and reversed into a huge stanchion.

Did the gate stay open

 

[Old Boar]

Oddly enough, yes. Could not work it out. Even checked the knot! Doh!

a common symptom found can be standing in the middle of a shed going "what the hell did i come in here for?"
Treatment
Coffee+whiskey

After 13/14 weeks now it is getting a bit tiring. Dad went through a 7ft gate with a 7ft trailer at 20kmh the other day, wheel is now on a huge twist but it will finish the season hopefully!

Marking lambs with the wrong colours when there’s a pile in the field your in already marked putting 2 rings on a lambs tail has happened too

Somebody went and marked 3 pairs of twins in a field all with the same number last week 1, he should have known better. 2, he only does a few days a week!

I had to throw out a ewe that had the loudest and longest blare you ever heard , made my blood boil every time I went into the shed, was starting to have dark thoughts on how to painfully kill the bitch , tiredness,

Chap that helps us marks ewes and lambs on the left side sometimes and other times on the right. Sometimes he will mark the ewe on the left and the lambs on the right or vice versa. Drives me mental!

 

[J428TGS]

I start at 1 on the pairs in each batch... when there's ewes lambing hard in each mob I have to repeat the 3 numbers over in my head between fields or I get totally lost...

Numbers constantly chsnging i quite often have to not mark anything til I drive past the last one I remember numbering to remind me where I am

 

[J428TGS]

ours was a lleyn

Haha that made me laugh. I can just imagine how it would wind you up when you're tired.

Twice I've given a lamb's umbilical cord a good sloshing with my bottle of pop instead of iodine. Thing is I couldn't work out why it wasn't staining the lamb like iodine does and so repeated it 3 times before realising. Luckily I haven't taken a swig of iodine (yet!) .

Chaseing a ewe round the pen for 5 minutes and finaly get her into the lamb pen to find out I've got the wrong one
