Too cold

[Hilly]

I never worry about things i cant alter , things i can i do

I don’t know how to describe it really, living in hope might be one way to put it because hope is all we have

Stay one stage ahead of depressed it won't be so bad!

All you can do is your best....but it's still disappointing when your best isnt good enough

I think as farmers of livestock you have to get used to disappointment or you will be disappointed

The lad on the gritter stopped a few days ago told me a few years ago he was gritting one of the roads up to the quarries it was blizzarding I was leading ewes and lambs in and they were lambing like fuk as he put it. He said it looked like a nightmare to him leading them all in something he will never forget so he said
I can’t remember this but I suppose it’s no good us saying any of this hasn’t happened before

Expect the worst and you’ll never be disappointed

Trouble is you can turn into a pessimist

Sheep get sick of rain they get bad to deal with after long lengths of wet like what we have had it altered their general mood

I went through the worrying stage a couple of months ago I’m going through the next phase now

Snap, 2 slurry pits about overflowing. Even the rough hill ground I don’t think I can get too. All the dry ground has been covered at least once and is now white with sheep.

I think its still too cold at night to put cows with young calves out. The forecast is dry and cold but ground is wet and nights are cold. I might still do it though , next week

I think adrenaline gets us through.
I was watching a YouTube other day of lambing in the mud wind and rain and thought it looks shocking , terrible.....then I realised it's just exactly what we've just been through..... When it's happening you don't seem to realise how bad it actually is!

There is a chill in the air, it looks better weather till you go outside, then it's more akin to December than late April

I'm happy if my profit is £34!

We all live and earn by the weather so it stands to reason our moods follow
If their is an after life i want a job that dose not include the weather whats so ever …… god or bad i want freedom from the weather

We’ve spent a fair bit of time shifting shyt this winter, don’t know about you but there seems as if there’s twice as much of it this time just must be the amount of water about on the go

I lost a few lambs last year after I turned them out I was in a pretty bad mood about it for a while
It came snow and a colds wind and it just clobbered a fair few
I delegated myself the job of picking them up and bringing any ewes in that had lost a lamb or both and set lambs onto them
Didn’t want to demoralise the staff it was only the first week then it was ok after that
