That smell…

[Bald Rick]

I got bollocked the other week for using several different types of the Mrs’s fancy shampoo and body wash stuff too try and get rid of the smell. I’d only been in bed 10 minutes when that little grumpy voice piped up “you still stink of sheep.”

Better than "What's that perfume?"

If you get her lambing too then it cancels each other out.

When I got the combination drill out the other morning there was a blocked spout and a quick look showed there were a few beans lodged in the foot. Pipe off and a screwdriver in didn't quite clear it so in with the finger. Yes it felt all squishy and I just put it down to the beans had picked up moisture and swelled blocking the foot.
No it was the remains of a mouse that had come up from the bottom and was well putrified. I had to go and find one of the liveries to get some soap, there was no way I could sit in the cab for the rest of the day with that smell. The dog wouldn't leave me alone and it was painful to roll a smoke!

When we were kids, the old spaniel lived in the wood shed.
I remember Dad going in there one night, in the dark for a bag of logs. Old Henry had taken to curling one out in the wood heap, and it was one of these booby trap bonus logs that the old man squidged between his fingers as he filled the wood bag.
I can still hear him boaking and thrutching even now, thirty years later; and Mum and my sisters laughing at each new convulsion, as he tried to clean himself up.
We didn't have much money, but we took our amusement where we found it.

Normally she’s my evening shift lambing assistant. But we had a bit of news the other week that specifically bans her from the lambing sheds!

A few years ago I wrote an article called ' Safe Sex for Shepherds'. My hypothesis was that chlamydial infection in pregnant women was a sexually transmitted disease from their shepherd partner. How else does the bug cause a uterine infection?
So if your other half is pregnant, use a condom or just stay in the other bedroom.

I think he’s passed using a condom if she’s pregnant…. Congrats @Anymulewilldo

Although the timing seems annoying this year, at least she should be fit to help next year! Congratulations to you both.

Congratulations but poor planning. You should have put the tups out May and June so to speak ( if you had your gestational calculator to hand).

I’ve told her she’s too keep it in the oven until I’ve finished buying store lambs. I’m not rushing back from Scotland!

Ahh eau de sheep. Only thing that trumps it is eau de fattening pigs. Takes at least 2 doses of shampoo to get it out of your hair.....

Dagged 150 long tailed welsh today post lambing, washed hands when finished thoroughly, got in had a shower etc, then went to a school concert this evening that daughter was in. I had my son sat on my lap so he could see over the crowd and the wife pops up “has he wet himself” worked out it was my hands with eau de pi55, someone we knew sat 4 metres away could smell urine but no youngsters around them and they had no idea where the smell was coming from

Stainless steel 'soap' bars work well.

My auntie got me to use one of those one day thought she was pulling my leg
They work

Congratulations @Anymulewilldo if you find out who did it lets us all know and we will go and get the b@$tard .
Back to the original question.
Anything stinky round here is known as a 'double glover' two lambing gloves over a blue nitrile. And for those with a sensitive gag reflex if you grin as hard as you can you will not wretch or boke, honestly try it, it works. The only drawback is that you look insanely happy whilst pulling rotten bits out of pregnant animals.

Shampooing the dog in Tomato Ketchup gets rid of the smell of Fox sh!t after its had a roll. Might work on your hands

Eau de sheep shite almost seems permanent at shearing.

My wife was 6 months pregnant one lambing time. Was wash hands (properly), strip down and shower before I went anywhere near her. I loaded my stuff into the washing machine aswell. Had a couple of abortions early on so took no chances.
