lordedmond:
well done

I think this machine is going to have to shift some metal to repay for its outlay not to mention time involved in getting it this far

got you hernia sorted out mate had one done by keyhole method took no time at all to get back on his feet

Thanks Stuart - well it's never going to pay for itself - other than in my satisfaction :thumbup:

Hernia op booked for 19th Sept - they say no driving for six weeks which is a bit of a pain. It also means that the wife is going to have to collect the rams where we have them off site, and take some lambs to the abattoir so that's going to prove 'interesting' :clap:

:offtopic:

I will send the derby tup to help out if you need it :D

hope the flock is not texels when I first saw one of those by gad i thought it was a donkey :D

My uncle had a small farm were i used to help out Jersey herd for milking ( by hand in those days the farm did not have electric ) he also had a jersey bull he was as all of them are a killer black in colour and black by nature , we had to tie him to the tractor to get him out of his loose box , I can still smell the TVO fumes now :Doh:

don't forget to take a diamond hone in with you on the 19th to make sure he/she has touched up the knives

At least they didn't say no moving machinery around, so the weeks without driving could be a blessing in disguise! :)

awemawson:
Well chaps thanks for the thoughts - - - I think . . . . :thumbup:

The main ram is a Hampshire Down called Harold - he has a habit of charging at me whenever he sees me with a bucket ! Considering he was a 'sock lamb' (ie brought in as an orphan to milk a ewe that lost her lamb) and I remember carrying him on my lap on the way home, he's grown to be a fearsome beast. Produces very fine meat lambs when crossed with my Kents (otherwise known as Romney Marsh sheep)

I seem to remember that his rear end featured in one of the pictures of that large pile of earth!
