Green farmer wrote: » Thanks wrangler, no temperature, no rattley lungs, no signs of ill health , nothing. Just old and has decided doesn’t want to stand up anymore. She’s like a ewe with twin lamb disease ( but ain’t springing or been near any ram) Just doesn’t want to stand up. I’m bringing her water and nuts and fodder.

Green farmer wrote: » I’m putting 18 6 12 out on land atm. Seems a good compromise and might extend out the grazing. Hoping a bag of fert now is cheaper then a bag of meal Later in autumn.

Put him back on his feet and he seemed fine as of 1 hour ago. No idea what caused it but not something you want to see at this time of year!!

Lambman wrote: » Alls I know is the crossing blue leicster has a darker head brown spots etc than the traditional blue leicster which is white with a blueish tint... supposed till produce a better mule out off horneys than the traditional blue faced leister.... as far as I know it was only selective breeding over the years that left them like that don't think any other breed was inter mixed... open till correction on that though.
