    Put it his way goats would destroy all the vegetation but leave the ground in tact but pigs would eat all the vegetation and churn up the ground for ya. So long as the animals cant get into the septic tank and that the vent is very strong, made from something like steel or concrete, then it should be no problem at all. Plus you get some lovely pork out of it at the end to

    I got quite a good one mate, its one of those black widow ones. Not the one with thewrst thing on tho. PM me if your interested.

    Yes I do. However I am not prepared to watch the livestock that I have poured my life and soul into being killed by some pesky badgers. All of the farmers around my area are the same and most do just what I do. A friend of mine lost his entire cattle herd of over 200 cows to TB from badgers that were not even on his land. I think that the law regarding this particular matter are ridiculous. Surely our domesticated livestock are more valuable to us than a badger. Thats just my opinion and the opinion of my neighbouring farmers.
  21. oldmantanner
    ah yes i meant to explain on that. I live cage trap them and any with tb are shot the rest are taken far away to be relocated. Lost the lamb today. He was not responding to having been tube fed colostrum and got weaker and weaker untill he passed away.

    Just had problems with a lamb. The ewe is not bothered about the lambs and they have not been feeding as much as they should have been. She has not expelled all of the after birth , although she gave birth a few days ago. I have tubed the first born lamb, the weaker, by putting a tube down its throat and into its stomach and feeding it that way. It is now in a box in the kitchen in front of me, I am looking after it. it has gotten stronger since the feed and is moving and talking a little but it is not out of the woods let.

    None so far, thank god! I did a lot of shooting before we started to lamb. Including the badgers, I would much rather have safe lambs and no badgers than dead lambs and live badgers, so i shot as many as i could find

    Ha Ha ought to get good sheep dog! I did, after i got tired of chasing them around the field!
  25. oldmantanner
    Yes I do, that problem is common when you dont do it. As for the rotten ones you do get them from time to time and obviously more so in a larger flock. % of the un-born lambs growth happens in the last four weeks of the ewes pregnancy and this is also the most common time for metabolic diseases to occur. The rotten lamb foetuses you have had are probably down to abortion. Most flocks suffer abortion caused by infection, rough handling, or barging at the feed trough. A normal incidence in usually 1-2%. Enzootic abortion and toxoplasmosis account for % of abortions and both can be con
