Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[Lesley]

We trimmed the sheeps feet today......and discovered that one of our 'bought in' ewes is actually a ram lamb

 

We though it was supposed to be a boy - but could never see any evidence. This is the first time they've been turned over for any foot treatment.

 

We completely forgot that most ram lambs are castrated at a few hours old because it is impossible to do with Shetlands ............and our Shetland ram lambs are quite obviously boys and can be told apart from the ewe lambs from quite a distance

 

He's booked in at the abattoir next week

[chickencam]

Oh dear

 

The sheep were funny on HFW last night, those rams don't waste any time

[Nicola H]

Oh no what a shame..........

 

Chickencam I thought the same thing he went round all the girls in minutes..........

[Egluntyne]

Oh heck.

 

Can you get your money back?

[Karen & co.]

Oh dear Perhaps the person who sold hime to you is like the man on the Specsavers advert when he is shearign the sheep and sheep dog

He did actually say that he thought that one was a boy - we just thought we'd misheard

 

The only problem we have now is that we don't have any room in any of the freezers.........I must start emailing people I know........

[Karen & co.]

Don't mention the freezer being full to Mark, he'll be down the motorway before you can say lamb chop clutching his cheque book
