Title: Three Chronogest Sponges Wanted
Post by: Womble on October 07, 2017, 11:32:06 am

I was going to start a new thread, but searching turned up this one from two years ago, and it's just so good, I think it deserves to resurface.....


In the meantime (October 2019), I would like to buy three  Chronogest sponges. Do you have any spare? If so, do please get in touch! :-)


******

Hi Folks,

I accidentally coughed at an auction, and now have one more ewe than I have sponges for!

Does anybody have a spare one that they would be willing to post to me in return for £5 paid by paypal friends & family?

Thanks!

Womble.

And now also unexpectedly dead! (not my greatest ever investment call then!) :-[

I'll bet that's something Theresa May wishes she could say about quite a few people though!

I don't really know, WBF. She was just 'asleep' one morning and never woke up.


A farmer friend told me that's how they go with pulpy kidney, so maybe her vaccinations weren't up to date. I have no way of knowing though, and all our other sheep have been fine since. Caveat emptor and all that :-(

With my silly old lady hat on - Oh what a shame, poor thing.  With my accountant hat on - I hope she didn't cost much  :innocent:

Hi folks, Same again this year. I would have started a new thread, but this one ended up being unintentionally hilarious, and deserves a re-read 2 years on, especially with all the Brexit shenanigans still ongoing. (Boris for PM?  Who'd have thought it?!)


So, does anybody ([member=24813]Foobar[/member] ?) have three spare chronogest sponges they'd be willing to post to me? 

Many thanks!  :thumbsup:


Womble.

Does your vet not split a pack? Mine splits sponges but not CIDR's. I have moved over to CIDR's for the goats this year, less messy to insert, but you do need an applicator.

Don't know if you're on the Zwartbles Facebook page but someone on there is advertising 13 spare sponges :thumbsup:

Hi all,

Yes, our vet will split a pack, but it's always worth asking on TAS first....... and once again, you've all come up trumps. Thanks Silkwoodzwartbles - deal now done via Facebook  :thumbsup: .

Apologies for my tardiness in replying to this ... I do have some spare, but they are right at the end of their use by date, so I'm glad you have found some alternatives elsewhere [member=2128]Womble[/member]  :thumbsup:
