Dark cold nights caring for the animals, the 9.00 to 5.00 ers would want unsocial hours pay, overtime pay and cold weather payments. Livestock farming takes a lot of commitment for not a lot of return cash wise. So be proud of what you are doing because your animal husbandry is 5*****
Thanks for the support as always Ken. Really appreciate your kind words. It’s not for the faint hearted. And I’m fairly sure we’re yet to actually make any money doing it! 😂
Hope all your sheep are OK. If you give some meal to them kade lambs along with hay it will help them two. Do ye have many valais ewes that dont go in lamb. We had one and she didn't breed this time was her first time with tup.
Sorry to hear it! We have have had this before with the Valais, shearlings struggling to catch on their first run with the tup. Our new tup hasn’t worked this time sadly so nothing is in lamb! Very saddening! We have to be very careful with hard feed as these Cade lambs have had pulpy kidney & a diet change can tip them! We’re going to try them on some cake this weekend, wish us luck!! And thanks for watching! 😁
@FailingatFarming sorry to hear the valais are not in lamb. Ye are having a bad run of luck. Keep going things will get better. Wishing you luck with cade lambs hope they turn a corner.
