WOW, what a lot of rain
« on: April 06, 2014, 01:53:05 pm »
We have had stacks of it in the last 24 hours and I have been worried about my lambs.
The one born yesterday is still in her bonding pen and will stay there at least until tomorrow afternoon when it looks like it might brighten up a bit.



The three that are out are just over a week old and seem to be ok but I am thinking of teaching them to swim  :roflanim:

tell me about it  ::)  I've been watching the forecast and it looks like it's fizzling out this afternoon (from nowish) - another soaking tomorrow then the sun might come out midafternoon  :fc:  then colder and sunnier for two days.

Didn't stop raining overnight here - huge puddles about again.  Can't wait to see the sun again.  :sunshine:

Sounds like Wales had our share of the rain yesterday. We were forecast for it all day but it stayed dry so spent the day in the garden and poly.
Not so dry overnight and still raining now  :gloomy:
Hope it is brighter today for you guys  :sunshine:

Our fields are completely sodden again  :raining: , but I think I've found the reason.
 
I just tried to upload sheep movement details to the new ScotEID website, and clicked on our CPH number to check the details were correct. This links to a google map which says we are here:
 

 
I'm thinking of switching to fish farming.

Womble :roflanim: :roflanim: .
 :raining: :raining: on the south coast after 2 days of thick mist ??? , fields are back to mud.  The ewes are choosing to stay in the barn/stables unless they are grazing.  Not so daft :sheep: .
