Frenchieboy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Nice shooting- we must protect the lambs after all May I ask what rifle that is?? It looks the business Les :look: Definitely so Les, I couldn't agree more! Lambing doesn't really start up in this area until the beginning of next month but regular walks around with the lamp and rifle are about to start pretty soon to make sure that Charlie doesn't come visiting, and if he is that hungry I will happily give him a lump of lead to chew on! All semtiment has to go out of the window as protecting the farmers livelyhood has to come first in my list of priorities, particularly at this time of the year!

Evil Elvis Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Not so cut and dried any more, while there are a lot being born now, my farmer has now had lambs born in EVERY month of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Although it was a strange looking Fox-it was a nice looking one too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Not so cut and dried any more, while there are a lot being born now, my farmer has now had lambs born in EVERY month of the year it should be as it should be down to his husbandry to make sure they lamb when he wants them to. Generally you keep the ram away from the ewes and without his help you don't get lambs at the wrong time, generally they time it so they are the right age to have grass growing once the lambs are able to eat it.

That's what I thought. Surely no farmer would let his rams run with the ewes all year round, that would make lambing far too unpredictable to be practical! Any sheep farmers care to comment?

Evil Elvis Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I dont think Dave is really a "proper" sheep afrmer anymore, he has about 50-60 sheep in a small 20 acre farm, he plays at it really, hes nearly 80!! Im happy to keep the foxes down, theres rabbits, hares, phessies and partridge on there at times so Its an interesting little place, you can roost shoot the orchard for pigeons and its 2 miles from my house!!! He also has a skeet shoot on the land and an area that i can zero my rifles....waht more could i need on my doorstep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
