Hi
You're campaign to change views on battery farming have been so successful, what are you're views on the inhumane treatment of live animals transported abroad to be slaughtered is this not an issue that should be addressed.

On holiday in Northern Italy we saw what I thought were goats but the locals told us were sheep - They milk them and make cheese with the milk. Does anyone know what breed they are and if you can buy them in this country? I've spent hours on the internet but failed to find them!!! Are they exclusive to Italy? I now have 3 Balwen sheep - not for milk I hasten to add - but what characters they are!!

A friend who also has a couple of orphaned lambs for the first time this year was told by a farmer friend that now her lambs are 6 weeks old she must stop feeding them milk immediately. Something to do with the milk going into the wrong stomach and they can just die suddenly! I am a little alarmed as my lambs are a similar age, but they seem to be weaning themselves quite nicely. They are down to three bottles a day, one of them sometimes only has two. They will turn down their last feed and even on occassions their morning feed first thing. I assumed I could just carry on in this way until they are off the bottle completely in the next couple of weeks. HELP! I'm worried sick now and would appreciate some input :-)

Hi, I have a ouessant ewe who gave birth to twins at lunch time yesterday, the ewe seems very lethargic and the lambs have started to scour, it is quite thick but very yellow, I have rang the vet and he will be here shortly, but is there anything anyone can recommend in the meantime??
One of the lambs seems quiet and the other is jumping around!
