[QUOTE="Robin2020, post: 7193382, member: 149041"] I am new to sheep and have a flock of 20 ewes on 14 acres (split into 3 fields) I was looking at the Productivity small grant scheme and wondering what to get....if anything! I live on site so trailer systems are not vital I am on my own so working on the animals can be tricky...especially injections...dagging I intend to breed so could be at 60 sheep through parts of the year. My main issues so far seem to be getting all of the sheep in a pen. The greedy ones are easy...others not so much. I could do with a better means of working on the sheep and doing vaccinations etc.. Maybe I should just make some better pens from hurdles and netting? Create my own race with simple footbath.. I have no hard surfaces so a fixed handling system looks out..they insist it is call concreted in Would a combi clamp be worth the money as it doesn't help with looking at feet?? What would people suggest? I dont want to buy stuff for the sake of it but I am very inefficient at the moment.. [/QUOTE]
