My mate had a good caption for this.
Maybe ewes that were lambed very early or dry hoggets might be sort of ok but that would be it. Anything else wouldn't be fit.. Would be torture to shear themIs it to early to clip?
You must be having much warmer nights than us to even be thinking about shearing. We're still having frosts.Is it to early to clip?
What sort of breeding is in a lonk tup? Some kind of crossbreed is it?Freezing here this morning,the wool won’t have risen yet.

I'd be having serious words with the buyer.I got remittance on 270 hoggs we sent in last Tuesday,p1ssed off because they only killed 70 on Wednesday morning because they had a breakdown👎the other 200 were killed on Thursday morning,the 1st £70 were £133.45 paid into the bank,the 200 were £129.15,there breakdown cost me £800 or so.🤬
I don’t know,take them from some cracking grass stick them in a slatted shed with some shite hay and they’ll melt before your eyes.I'd be having serious words with the buyer.
Lambs shouldn't loose much, especially not hoggs, not like they were fresh off theor mothers!
Well it only had a short spell on this earth,I've 10 or so 30' long 30" steel pipes in the corner of the field it's mother had gone up 1 of two that had the end blocked off,lamb followed and she only bloody went and led on it.😠😩☹Freezing here this morning,the wool won’t have risen yet.

It will be a good education for her, too many kids are shielded from the harsh realities of life for too long. Things not going your own way all the time is the best lesson any child can learn.The Daughter isn't having a very good farming year!
Her sheep Patch got staggers and dropped dead.
Now her other ewe has gone and got mastitis!😓 two cracking good lambs with her too!
We had another ewe with twins we filmed being born to send to her cousins to show what goes on, and named the lambs after them.... one of them dropped dead too!
My neighbour was telling me about how his dad used to say “You’ll look at that till you kill it” basically you should never have favourites because it always ends in tears.The Daughter isn't having a very good farming year!
