We watched that one after mine had finished downloading.....what a load of rubbish, they were also using a linear scanner which is less than hopeless for sheep scanning. Gave up watching part way through as I couldn't stand the agony.For comparison, check this out.
Team handed and seemingly decided by committee?
I don't think this lot will be competing with you this century Frisby. I didn't see their "L" plates, but they must have been there somewhere.
Good clear video by the way. Were they all twos? I didn't see the spray used.![]()
Presumably then you must think me a hopeless amateur since I call them ones, twos and threes................Were they all twos?
Ones, two threes? We called them singles, doubles and triplets - back in the olden days.

......Sam?Our scanning lady
That sheepskin is the best.......not only comfy but warm to my back too in what can sometimes be a bit nippy a job.........that's the understatement of the yearCracking through them, there Frisbee and like the comfy chair!
Can't remember what her name was, this was when I used to work in wales, where they prayed that most of their flock would be singles or twins as they were only little mountain ewes and triplets usually meant alot of fostering or bottling. I was spray boy most of the time though as my welsh accent wasn't good enough to control their dogs! haha......Sam?

Is this directed at me or Admin?Admin,

But then again perhaps there is nothing you wont offer an opinion on regardless of how little you know about it.
Perhaps the unwarranted attack should be noted. Having grown up on a farm - lived on it for my first 25 years, mostly. I would know what we called them,
Perhaps, if you only scan for pregnancy, I might have delivered more lambs in my time than you. I didn't bother to count them though so maybe, maybe not. I did consider helping a farmer out some twenty years past as a lambing contract for the night shift, but was glad I was offered alternative employment in a warmer environment.
Might even have dipped more sheep than you. I know not, but I know I have dipped or helped with thousands over the years. My brother used to do it as a regular job in the season with his mobile sheep dip. I even considered pregnancy scanning as an employment option some twenty years ago. My experience is, admittedly, long in the past but that does not mean I know nothing about it.
So please keep you snide remarks to yourself.
