Real Breeder

I breed proper sheep & I'm bloody good at it. Judge by eye only. Ban EBVs & the amateurs that like 'em. Likes: bonnie heads, myself Dislikes: other views.

Tophill Joe gave us the best head in the history of Texel breed. Slagging him off should be illegal. #needmorehead https://t.co/k4KAIy5S7d

Sheep farmers led by the show ring when deciding traits to select for, says @SamBoonBreeding https://t.co/VEk3Q1Z4lN

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

Word!

At last something -ve about EBVs. Need more to stand up & slag them off. #fightthepower #realstockmenassemble https://t.co/gMQczAjG9n

@PVickerton @ZwartblesIE @FarmersWeekly @SamBoonBreeding a solution looking for a problem. Unless and until everybody does it its academic.

@RafGilchrist @Caroline_Stocks Show ring protects breed type from folk that have never had to sell ugly store lambs during sticky trade

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

@RafGilchrist My own trait evaluation is that my arse and your face show a strong correlation.

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

@FearnFarm @pirntatonjim Aye - they wean themselves at 4 weeks once on ad lib #cabbages

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

@pirntatonjim Weaning is for fannies @FearnFarm

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

@pirntatonjim I know how all 25 of mine perform aswell #expert #sheepEID

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

What's the point in EID? If you are a proper stockman you know all by eye. #usetheforce #sheepEID

@FearnFarm #poormanagement

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

Think "Game for a Laugh" cameras are in the house. Suggestion is we have an EBV for body length using CT scanning. #useyoureyes #sbrt15

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

Debate at #sbrt15 - should we stop recording hill sheep? ... Bit like asking if bears do lav lav in the woods. #breedsheepnotcamels #EBeVil

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

@pirntatonjim @FearnFarm @FarmerBeary Don't need it - just get me to do it by eye. #properaccuracy. Pay me in Belhaven Best.

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

No wonder Scotch Beef is regarded as a superior product #yakfortea #sbrt15

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

Saw your talk last night too. Drains are useful when you spout as much pish as you do @FearnFarm

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

@FearnFarm @pirntatonjim Aye here but seriously cant remember being on the Challenger to get to this planet #EBVspacecadets #srbt15

.@Montyonthefarm @Spaldings Have enough prizes. Anyway "100th" involves a number, numbers are figures, figures are EBVs, EBVs are evil #QED

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

@GlenappCharlie Can never have 2 many cabbages! Probably recorded & died cause the scanning machine = cancer, acts like a microwave #EBeVil

[Real Breeder @eye_been]

@Montyonthefarm no piss take, cabbages are a serious subject. I can tell their feed value just by eye. God, I'm good.
