| bessytractor |
congrats james
|
||||
| James |
Cheers guys!
Bit of a worry to start with, she were just laid in the corner like, and her mother were bleating like buggery at her. So... we tipped owd yowey on her back and milked her, put it in a bottle, and bottle fed her. She weren't hungry, so she must have just been tired. Then a bit later she got up, had a yawn, walked around a bit, had some milk, and then they both laid down together! I tell you summat, sheep milk don't half taste good

Congratulations James! | ||||
| James |
Thanks Jim, I'm rate proud!
Makes it so much better: 1) the lamb is alive 2)the yowe is alive 3) the yowe's eating and drinking 4) the lamb is a lass! All is well
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Perfection? reminds me of myself
|
||||
| toxx |
... I'm glad to hear the good news, Jim! Congrats, mate!
|
||||
| James |
Aye lad it's rate good! Going too well... we're Chantrys and good luck ISN'T something which we have. Summats will cock up down the line somewhere I'd bet on it
Back to 4 gimmers/yowes and 3 tups now 
Wonder if Katy will have a tup or a gimmer... gimmer hopefully! And I'll be getting one or two more gimmer lambs off Frank Martin (who we got the others off, best breeder out there, he's like 81 year old and still looks after his 200+ Lincolns, and was on that programme about them a bit back!!). Ooo and might be getting a yowe and gimmer lamb off another bloke!! So will have at least 10 Lincolns by the end of lambing! |
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Hope so lad! Good luck with it anyway, will have to pop up to Lincolnshire one time and see the "family"
|
||||
| Les |
Best of luck to you, and leave some milk for the lamb.
|
||||
| James |
Oh aye lad you'll always be welcome!
Apart from if you bring the tax man with you 
Eeee right, need female names begining in G! Mum thinks "Gemma"
|
||||
| Les |
Grace. |
||||
| toxx |
Gwendolynne. I'm partial to that name .... sigh! (imagine Tom sighing)
Or: Gwynnemere. I'm partial to that name .... sigh! (imagine Tom sighing) 
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Aye might do that when my car is "road legal" again
|
||||
| steamgranny |
Really glad to hear the good news, James
And congratulations to all involved
|
||||
| Reid |
So your mom has a wry way to spring surprises on you!
That was funny, "she has lice on her again.." First sight of this thread, James. Congrats to you and best of show to Glenda |
||||
| toxx |
... I also recommend Gènéviéve. I'm partial to that name ... sigh! (imagine Tom sighing) | ||||
| Reid |
That's odd. Tom sighs when he says his favourite name for the lamb.
I just rolled Glenda off my tongue, and only farted. 
|
||||
| toxx |
... too all the girls I (censored) before, who travelled in and (censored) my (censored), I'm glad they (censored), I dedicate this (censored) ...
... perhaps Giselle?
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Any pics of the new arrival Jimbo?
It is tradition
|
||||
| James |
Naa lad they were all blurred, will do it weekend!!
Gladice is what one lass at school suggested
Another who went to primary school with me suggested Gwenda (this rate legend of a teacher from me primary school) And of course the lass with the sheep suggested her own name
|
||||
| Reid |
Concerned here, James! The naming of the sheep, if done wrong,
may maim the creature's self respect. Imagine the taunting possible if she were named Gladice! I can well see the future--little lambs can be cruel one to another. Gladice likes lettuce! Let us leave Gladice to lettuce, lets! -- Gladice : she rolled wrong numbers on dice and lost her fleece; she now lives with lice! We're so glad we aren't Gladice cos if we all were we'd be very Sad-us. --- Yes, James, a name means a lot to a child. Give her a name that will hold her head high! Give Glenda a right proper name like, oh, I don't know....
|
||||
| James |
LMFAO
I dunno, I'll let me mother decide cos I picked the last one!
|
||||
| mc_mc |
Glad to hear the good news! Pictures please.
For a name I suggest Griselda (one of my friends actually married a girl called Griselda, but despite the name she was actually very beautiful and from Mexico I think). |
||||
| James |
Eeee! Don't sound very Lincolnshire
|
||||
| Sandman |
How about Gabby or Geena, Jimbo???
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
That one doesn't begin with G
|
||||
| Les |
Gimbo.
|
||||
| tmuir |
Congrats James.
|
||||
| James |
Thanks guys!
Just had her outside for a bit, bloody hell, she's healthy as owt! Gimmer (who is now a yowe for a second time) is such a bloody good mother, really really good. She's eating like buggery, drinking fine, so yeah, for the 1st time ever, everything is going perfect
Pics in a bit!! |
||||
| Sandman |
Long may it continue mate.
I'm really pleased for you. At last a bit of good luck for a change.
|
||||
| James |
Aye mate! I'm rate happy!!
|
||||
| Stilldrillin |
Very pleased for you James!
Hope it all keeps on keeping on.......
|
||||
| Les |
Glad to hear everything is going right.
|
||||
| Nick |
Can't wait for the pictures.
|
||||
| James |
Introducing Fieldside lamby number 2 and her proud mother!!
|
||||
| Reid |
Glad for such gnus! Les made a good point.
Any old crappy name will serve if we just put a G in front. Say, if the babe were a black sheep, she could be named Glicorice. |
||||
| James |
I'm pleased she ain't black
If she were, I wouldn't be able to breed with her, her mother, or her father any more!! |
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Normally i'm not into all this mushy animal stuff but.... awwww
Couldn't resist  must be getting soft in my old age
|
||||
| James |
Come round and see them lad!!
|
||||
| James |
LMFAO I knew the good luck wouldn't last long!!
The last gimmer to lamb, Katy, is now on her own. And! She won't eat. Wooo! So, it's half 8 at night, I ain't had me tea yet, feel like cack, now I've got to go out, catch her, give her some twin lamb calcium drench, move the tups, put her in with the lambs (last years) and then put the tups back in another field
Won't be going out while about 9 though! Oooooo the joys of keeping sheep
|
||||
| johnreid |
Lets all hope it isnt like the other one James. We will all be thinking about you and praying ti is just a mild thing. | ||||
| steamgranny |
Hmmm.........ethereal......celestial, almost.......I'm with Les on this one ''Fieldside Grace' |
||||
| Les |
Hope everything turns out ok. | ||||
| James |
Grace is a good name! Hmmm! Decisions! Feels like I'm naming me own bairn!!
|
||||
| James |
Apparantly me great granny were called Gracie
So was Gracie Fields! Sing as we go, and let the world go by
|
||||
| James |
Just went to sort Katy out, she pegged it and ran into the bloody fence! Daft owd bat!
Will sort her tomorrow morning! |
||||
| steamgranny |
Still has plenty of go, then Hopefully this not eating is just a temporary quirk Let us know tomorrow.
|
||||
| Andy |
well done lad | ||||
| James |
Just put her in with last years lambs! Caught her and gave her a twin lamb drench, bloody hell, she's a rack of ribs, and we can't fatten her up because she won't eat!! Looks like gimmer were getting all the food!! | ||||
| toxx |
... she won't eat? Is there anyfink can be done? 
|
||||
| James |
She's decided to start eating again now!! Whether it's because of the twin lamb drench or cos she's now got friends I dunno but I don't care!! | ||||
| MTA |
Finally, some luck!
After all this bad luck you deserve a break

LMAO!
Black Lincolns are just pointless to breeders, but they are good for spinners and stuff!! |
||||
| Nick |
It was just the way you wrote it earlier.
|
||||
| James |
