Officially lamb tired!

[A1an]

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

Is it not normal to feel like that?

 

[Old Boar]

I have got one that I call foghorn and I could hire out to the coast guard - she would keep shipping away for miles!

Ewe was hammering a lamb Put her into a crate lamb doing real well on her She lambed a week later

Had a ewe mothering a single, it had sucked and all seemed well. Noticed it was scanned for 2 and had moan about scanner man getting it wrong. Turned them out after a few days and a week later she gave birth to twins. Still don't know where the first lamb came from!

They came to see our system 30 years ago

It does amaze me the folk i see locally slaving away day and night doing work the ewes are meant to do ---why keep sheep when sheep can keep you?

To be fair I'm often this tired for a lot of the rest of the year too.

Are you confusing tired with hungover ?

Went to feed ewes today. Drove through gate to find a dry bit of ground. Walked round them, shut the gate, chained it up then turned to get on the bike which had gone.
Still sitting 30 yards away in the field on other side of the gate.

How are your binoculars going?
Next year we’re getting a super strong pair and lamb in select fields we can see from miles away so we can “Tim W” approach it

I think drone is the way forward
Just need one that can pick up the hyperthermic lambs and bring back to base!

We had a very steady first week (from April 1st), which I thought odd as all but about ten ewes were in lamb to the first cycle, then all hell broke loose for the second week. I have never had so many lambing each day, peaking at 70 odd. Morning rounds were starting at 7 and finishing after 1 for several days, then in for my tea at about 10:30. I think the ewes are about 90% done now, but the hoggs were tipped steadily over 2 cycles, just to stretch the job out.

Hoping to get some sleep in a day or two.

Went to grab some more double tags from the draw, fresh bag...... spent some time checking the two stacks of tags matched, turned them over and back again several times.....convinced that shearwell had miss printed and the stacks were 1 number out.....


.....they weren't....they were identical and correct!
