@mad4farming @Katy_Llwyncrwn @joehamer2 @PVickerton @DefaidTexel we've lost 5% of our payment. "Hosting non vegan crows on the holding"! 😆

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@Chyenbas this is a ewe that lost an eye this year during lambing.

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@PVickerton @joehamer2 @Katy_Llwyncrwn @DefaidTexel @mad4farming @FarmersOfTheUK had chance to take this today too!

@WhiteleeJohn @SolwayShepherd why's a cynical old man like you pouring cold water on a youngster? You've had your chance and you've blown it

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@Chyenbas cases are well recorded & witnessed daily on plenty of farms including here https://t.co/YUo8SsVzDm

@WhiteleeJohn @mad4farming @SteveOakley52 @joehamer2 Did he never have a fox take a lamb or crow even bother looking as well then!?

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@WhiteleeJohn @mad4farming @SteveOakley52 @joehamer2 thanks I'll have a look under sections "how to not have hungry foxes" & "lazy corvids"!

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@WhiteleeJohn @mad4farming @SteveOakley52 @joehamer2 You should write a book & share your astounding knowledge & secrets!? I'd buy it!

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@WhiteleeJohn @defra @mad4farming @SteveOakley52 @joehamer2 @FarmersOfTheUK for what? The predatory nature of corvids!?

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@WhiteleeJohn @mad4farming @SteveOakley52 @joehamer2 Your "experience" differs from every other sheep farmer in the Uk what's your secret!?

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@WhiteleeJohn @mad4farming @NickersonBen @joehamer2 @FarmersOfTheUK Of what the crows!???

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@mad4farming @WhiteleeJohn @SteveOakley52 @joehamer2 So you think only 2 things can kill a lamb 1)bad shepherding 2)genetics not wildlife!??

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@RachelLumley @armsrong7 will do the lambs at 4/5wks old. All on high risk pasture so I don't wait for fec count.

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@joehamer2 @thebiggrog @SteveOakley52 @FarmersOfTheUK @mad4farming @WhiteleeJohn Only thing that will stop em is if a Raven beat em to it!

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@thebiggrog @SteveOakley52 @FarmersOfTheUK @mad4farming @joehamer2 @WhiteleeJohn yes very. Ask any women how far she could run in labour?

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@SteveOakley52 @mad4farming @joehamer2 @FarmersOfTheUK @WhiteleeJohn Mmmm... maybe it was one of those foxes that don't take lambs then!!?😆

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@SteveOakley52 @mad4farming @joehamer2 @FarmersOfTheUK @WhiteleeJohn Got a one eyed ewe walking about this yr thanks to crows at lambing!😡

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@mad4farming Treated myself to the full options pack. Leak like a siv, window regulators made of play-doh & full oil leak/rust out package!😂

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@mad4farming do you get a nice shower from the sun(wishful thinking!) roof in yours like I do then?!☔️😡

[Andrew Cooke @andrewcooke1]

@SolwayShepherd if budget could be stretched I'd seriously look at digital, option for EID in the future & more accurate in the meantime.
