f**k Up Fortnight

Why not try the traditional method, tie a piece of string to the tooth, then tie the other end to a door handle and close the door

No doors on houses, Ooop North...

The shearer had us booked in for today so obviously it rained all night last night! Rescheduled for tomorrow!
The ladies of the house were frazzling my last nerve so I decided to bring the ewes and lambs down so I don't have to chase them round tomorrow. Then decided as a few had scabby ears I'd worm/bolus/weigh the lambs. Managed to find my favourite drench gun was gummed up solid! Then found the only sharp broken weld on my guillotine gate with the soft part of my middle finger. And topped it off with the little darlings bashing my hand against the scales. But the good news is the weights aren't bad. Mostly beltex X out of ewe lambs, mostly twins and they were all between 22 and 25kg except a runt whi spent a good whike contemplating death and a big single who looks like he killed and ate his twin, which was as near as damn it 30kg. Ages 6 - 9 weeks just off milk and my rubbish sheep sick grass.
And I had a random tradesman who was quoting for a job ask if I do lamb boxes and didn't bat an eye when I said £200/lamb!
