aarrrgggghhhh!!! I've just doodled on a really important document in biro!!! while trying to track a missing parcel. It's a terrible habit while I'm on the phone. Usually on note pads though.

Do you doodle (I mean drawing patterns on paper, nothing else!) whilst on the phone, if so any particular pattern or object?

Black welsh mountain shearling ram for sale

Tue, 21 May 2013 13:44:18 +0100

Proven pedigree Black Welsh Mountain shearling ram for sale. 15 months old. Very good mannered and well natured, will walk on a halter. This boy is a on the large size for this breed, so would be ideal for anyone who wants the wonderful characteristics of the BWM but needs the extra size for meat production. Was used successfully as a ram lamb so he knows his job. Heptavac'd.

Can be registered if desired.

Good home more important than price, so price is negotiable. (Will go for the chop if not sold )

Location: just outside Cardiff.

Are horned goats ok with electric nettig

Tue, 21 May 2013 13:13:11 +0100

I've kept sheep and pigs for years but goats are a new venture for me. I've never used electric nets for horned sheep but are they ok for goats? I collected two young goats recently and they were kept within electric nets, I did question it and the seller said that the nets were called goat nets so should be alright. I'm not sure. What do others do? I would much appreciate some advice.

WANTED: Oxford Sandy & Black sow

Mon, 20 May 2013 22:10:07 +0100

Does anyone know of a registered OSB sow for sale? Ideally aged up to 4 years and within a 4 hr drive of Shropshire. We cannot have a gilt as our OSB boar is fully grown! Good outdoor home awaits with company of our other sow and our boar.

We have looked on the BPA & OSB websites and will be following up some leads but thought that it was worth asking here too.

Thanks

Do You Have It?

Mon, 20 May 2013 21:46:52 +0100

"Willpower" that is

I stocked up on four bags of my favourite sweets/chocolates today (Raspberry Ruffles).....9 hours later I still haven't touched one first time for everything I suppose, must be a miracle. Will probably wake up in the middle of the night and have the midnight munchies

Is there anything you find hard to resist?

How old are my weaners?

Mon, 20 May 2013 18:00:17 +0100

I bought some weaners from a local livestock auction so have no idea how old they are. The feeding schedule that I use is based on age. Can anyone tell me of a way to guess approximate age. Maybe by girth measurement? Many thanks - Richard
