[QUOTE="Jockers84, post: 7353434, member: 146928"] Good afternoon, I've been a long term follower of the farming forum, as a new start some of the things I've learnt have been truly priceless. One thing that has struck me though, is every so often I will find a word, term or phrase that I'm just not 100% on what it means. This isn't limited to TFF, it also happens at livestock auctions, weekly farming publications and at the Vet if it's a locum or graduate. I've put up this post so whenever anyone finds a word there not too sure on they can add a comment and hopefully someone can tell them/me what it actually means? First - "Theaves" When referring to sheep, what does this mean? Second - Selling ewes with lambs at foot, what does it mean when you see "a lamb and a half" Is that a ewe with a pair and a ewe with a single? Might seem daft to some folk but there's plenty local dialects out there. Cheers [/QUOTE]
