    Sheared 600 ewes in just over 8 hours. 3 shearers, my niece in the wool bags, father loading the wool and keeping the area clean. I divided the sheep and lambs and kept the shearing crate full.

    Large holding pen can hold over 300 ewes

    Dividing pen. Lambs went up the race into the top pen, sheep went left and held to be shore

    Simple and easy way to hold wool bags, the digger held the bag for white wool the other for black wool

    Busy shearing. The ewes are held in a big pen beside the wall

    No, David, they're all gone with a suggestion that you up upgrade your account to enable 3rd party hosting?

    Haven't a clue what that means


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭Nekarsulm


    I read somewhere else that PhotoBucket have gone from a free service to a paid only service.
    So you probably have an email to whichever email address you provided on set-up, inviting you to pay or lose all your uploaded photos....

    There's a bit at the start of this Boards announcement about Photobucket changing their terms.

    I use imgur

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imgur.mobile

    mainly because it's fairly simple and once you use ADDRESS to stick the address in the middle, it shows up easily. There might be better ones out there but it's the one I'm familiar with. Blue5000 might be a better lad to talk to about posting photos though.

    Using Imgur.com

    Find it a bit fiddly on the phone, but fine otherwise.
