Sheepy mystery

[Al R]

What time of year was it @Curiousgeorge123 ?

Is this anything like it?

I suppose it could have been the Crystalix, but it's difficult to tell from the images I've looked at. It was spread around the land not in a bucket or attached to the sheep. Afraid I don't remember the month, I just remember it was a blisteringly hot day for a long walk!

Just seen this so ignore my last post, it could have been a plot counting birds or something else environmental that a lot of us do? Was it 1 field, a whole farm or the whole area? It wasn’t molehills on red clay soil was it?

How many afterbirth photos can we jam onto 1 thread?

Are you on drugs?

Thanks for (some of) the responses, it was definitely not an instrument, or a mushroom and didn't look like the picture of the afterbirth shown either, I would say it had more of a liver-like consistency. So I'm still completely clueless. Just to clarify I am also not a vegan trying to 'stir things up'

It's pretty hard to even guess, by your description.


Situations like this, it's great to have your phone and get few pictures.

I like that you jump to that conclusion since you can't answer my question... It 100% wasn't afterbirth, also I have just checked the exact date in my diary and it was June 9th

Nope, it wasn't pink, it was dark red and like I said it had a liver-like consistency. I wish I had taken a picture with hindsight but unfortunately it didn't occur to me

It was spread around an area of 100 metres or so, and it wasn't dry like soil or molehills, it was dark red, and looked like liver, that's the closest description I can really give, it definitely had some sort of spotty look to it but not on the surface more like within the substance itself.

How about chopped mangle worzels that have gone a bit old and leathery then wet
They might look like bits of liver

Thanks but I doubt it as it was a really hot day so the vegetation was all bone dry

We are a bunch of light hearted, sarcastic twunts on here.

Don't take it personally



You'd get on better pissing on @Man_in_black I heard he likes a golden shower

I thought we agreed, what happens in Cleveland stays in Cleveland! Besides, @Northeastfarmer told me it was his mams way of saying hello...

Hi again, @Curiousgeorge123 , I think it could have been a mould or a fungus.

I was slightly concerned to see a substance that looked like a form of bladderwrack seaweed in random scatterings in the grass during last year's hot weather which turned out to be a slime mould. Harmless to sheep - I didn't find any keeled over in that field at least.

There is a dark red, less floppy, crinkled version that I've seen in open ground - I'm sure I've seen something like it, but the memory is vague - that's either a slime mould or a fungus. Strange beasts, fungi and moulds ...
