    Well, hard to say really, I went to lot of places, he had roe, cwd, fallow. Munjack.  What I got went in me freezer, it was great to somthing, more so if I had travled   6 hours  round trip, and come back   happy. As long as he caught something That's all that mater to me, not how many he caught. But where he really came into his own. Was going in cover day /night, he smash through any thick cover to get his quarry, he had few munjack in woods, that takes good dog to do that, his nose was brill finding them, I think got most pleasure, seeing him do that, coming out either dead munjack, or a fox, feck knows how did it, my  collie x grey Bryn, would never do it, he watch him, and wait if there was bolt from cover, day or night,  for big dog doing it was  brill to see deff. They make great mooching dogs as well, a lamping  dog. 👍

    He was a good dog buck. It was a shame to see him looking so old the other week.

    I'm not arsed what woman sheep's are interested in, we need fertility.

    When I first met my ex mrs she was tossing off sheep. They stick an electric probe up their bums....called an auto ejeculator....this gives em a shock , they then jizz into a cup which is tested for fertility. As it turns out she was an expert at collecting from the local farmers as well. Pm me for the tramps number 

    Pm sent ?

    They sound like handy sheep. Im a big fan of lleyn.
    Just watch adding too much tex into replacement ewes, affecting ease of lambing & amount of available milk, especially lambing outdoors. All the best. 
     
     
     
     
     
     

    That's the idea of having the beltex over the ewes. It keeps the lamb size down a little and they fetch a bit better price from the butcher. I will eventually go get around to keeping the llyen cross. High lambing percentages then. Texel x mule they are big exceptionally long ewes

    What ewes pal? When I had my own flock I lambed outdoors. With the right ewes is a beautiful thing.... 

    I got 6 Dorsetshire which are 5 year old and are going this year as I am changing over breeds. I've got 2 texel x llyens yearlings 2 texel x white face Welsh mules which are yearlings too, and 3 of last years ewes lambs out of them which are 3/4 texel  1/4  white face mule. I am going to stay down the texal cross route and use the same breed of tups each year. I only had the Dorsets last year and brought the others in a month or so before tupping

    I am lucky with the tups as there's a farmer just down the road who breeds some top glass sheep and he hired me the tups.

    Hello, new here!

    was seeking some advice, we have got a 7 month old bedlington whippet and we’re having abit it of trouble teaching him that he can’t be as reactive too other dogs on lead/off lead (not nasty in any shape of form) but the barking is horrendous.

    If anyone could help/advice please would be much appreciated as we are at whits end. We can’t even take him too busy dog walking spots as he’s gets that worked up he nearly strangling his self on lead.

    thank you in advance 

    If its your first dog then I think you have gone down the wrong route to start with. As cute has beddy whippets may look they can get a very stubborn streak from the beddy and be a little hard headed at times. Have you thought about going to a few local puppy training classes? They are cheap enough and everybody there is in the same boat, all got a unruly dog of some description.

    Just to keep them warm n dry for the first day or 2 they are all off now , they don't have a shed to get in if it pisses it down so they just offer a bit of protection,  pluss makes it easier to spot the littel buggers 

    I've never seen that before mate, it's a good idea. I got 3 pieces of tin sheeting and 4 8ft posts and 2 hurdles and put a temp pen up with some lorry sheeting on for the roof to put mine in for 24hours, ring them, put stockholme tar on them because I've got 2 active pig earths bordering the ground, then let them go. I may try some bags myself next year it would be easier.

    I didn't wanna go for cattle or pigs because I didn't want to damage the ground too much. That's why I was considering sheep or maybe goats. Just a light grazer really. I do fancy some pigs but they will be penned in a smaller section where some brambles need knocking back.

    I think goats take a bit of keeping in, also the bloody things will eat hedge rows like they are going out of fashion.
