walshie Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 This morning I've seen 3 small sheep drop out of bigger sheep's bottoms. What's that all about? Best go for a patrol tonight as I expect Mr Reynard will be by to pay a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Out of their bottoms.....had it eaten them? On a serious note having the lambs born is the best part of having sheep. We're lambing now for which I've inconveniently managed to injure myself, and it's still amazing to see the little floppy snot covered creatures come out and minutes later they're up on their feet.

Absolutely agree with this. The first dozen or so are a fantastic sight, when you get to the 300th though the novelty definately wears off. Speaking of snot covered creatures....one of the worst parts during lambing is when you have to give them a hand to deliver them and clear their airways.....then the little xxxxx shake their heads and coat your face in said goo. 🤢🤢🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchers Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Sadly the first two lambs I have seen so far were still born, still my farmer mate is used to it and will have a couple of thousand to look after soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I aggravated an old wrist injury racing on Sunday which has lead me to retire from racing, so I'm glad my girls are lambing away quietly on their own. Only had to intervene the once so far. I'm busy trying to promote the southdown as a terminal sire and the ease of lambing is a definite plus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
