Today was a bittersweet day.. we took our first lot of lambs. After rearing them and nurturing them, we can only hope we did our best. #firsttimeshepherds #dorsetsheep #backbritishfarming #lovelamb

We're at the exciting planning stages now

These beasties have been faecal egg counted and now enjoying new pasture. #LoveLambWeek #dorsetsheep #firsttimeshepherds

[Nicky Ogden @NickyRobinson12]

Ewes have been BCS and FEC, now enjoying some good grass and time away from lambs #firsttimeshepherd #dorsetsheep

[Nicky Ogden @NickyRobinson12]

@xtedbear There have been a lot of Wednesday nights since then! ;)

[Nicky Ogden @NickyRobinson12]

Make sure you don’t get caught out with worms! Regular faecal egg counting is essential to ensure lambs are meeting their growth potential. #growinglambs #dorsetsheep #SCOPS

Friday nights are for feeding lambs #dorsetsheep #firsttimeshepherd

I'm looking forward to be discussing the costs & the risks of #eae #enzooticabortion - this wed at 1230 #everylambcounts #teamsheep

[Nicky Ogden @NickyRobinson12]

@xtedbear FEC 50 epg - not wormed lambs yet this year. DLWG - pending!!! (Need to do some maths as weighed some last night) What’s your FEC not seen any recently..?!

[Fiona Lovatt @FlockHealth]

Sheep scab is a terrible thing!
If you farm sheep in Peeblesshire, North Wales, Devon, Northumberland, Leicestershire or Herefordshire
& you are prepared to talk about sheep scab
PLEASE get in touch by DM
Otherwise please RT
Thanks! #scops #teamsheep

Weighing lambs is crucial for assessing weight gain and accurate dosing of meds (even if it is a bit rough and ready..!) #maylambing #aprilbaby #dorsets #lambgrowthrates

What a difference a year makes. I don’t know who needs a drink more me or the grass ha. 🙈. #drought #sheep365 #keepsmiling

[AHDB Beef & Lamb @AHDB_BeefLamb]

Now is an important time to check the Body Condition Score of your ewes. Find out why by reading the BRP manual: Understanding lambs and carcases for Better Returns #sheep365 https://t.co/8O5TynXaiv

Looking for some sheep farms to host some winter feed planning meetings in early October with Phil Creighton from @TeagascSheep. Need a host in the SW, North West/North Midlands & one in the SE. We'll be discussing options for the winter and planning for the spring. Any takers?

[Nicky Ogden @NickyRobinson12]

Nipped to Tesco’s yesterday for some lamb for tea.. Where is the UK lamb?? I don’t want it from the other side of the world.. #buybritish #teamsheep #timetostepup #disappointed

[Nicky Ogden @NickyRobinson12]

Great talk on sheep farming in the Southwest #westerncountiesvetassociation #sheep #farming

[Nicky Ogden @NickyRobinson12]

Have you considered the risk of Johnes and Border disease/BVDV transmission between your sheep and cattle? @AHDB_BeefLamb @herdhealth #productionlimitingdiseases

[Nicky Ogden @NickyRobinson12]

The effects of Maedi Visna are very obvious in post mortem - very large swollen lungs. Just one of the 5 Iceberg Diseases that we’re discussing today. @AHDB_BeefLamb @herdhealth #productionlimitingdiseases
