Title: Thanks for the Forum!
Post by: moprabbit on May 01, 2012, 10:55:04 pm

Every day I switch on my computer and look forward to logging onto the Sheep Forum and reading all the letters. I 've 4 pet sheep, 2 years old, Mule x Charolais. I read the letters with joy, sadness, amazement and encouragement that there are so many people out there who love their sheep as much as I do! My heart goes out to everyone who has lambed and is still lambing - the heartbreak and the joys it brings. I just want to say thank you to everyone who takes part on this Forum. I've asked lots of questions and am sure there'll be a lot more  being a novice to sheep keeping and don't feel embarrassed to ask the simplest of things because I feel everyone is so friendly and helpful. The advice and info. given on here is so useful - I have a little book to write down all the useful tips I come across - things for bloat, remedies for poisoning etc etc. I wondered if there is anyone living near to me - north notts area? Anyway thank you Rosemary for setting up this Forum - its' GREAT!!

Agreed.  It's a wee goldmine of friendship and information.  I shouldn't say this but, very often better advice here than from my vet.

Thanks all - we find it as useful as everyone else  :)

Dan's the real one to thank - he does all the techy stuff and most of the moderation ie he's in charge of the naughty step  ;D
