Newcastle Emlyn today down 30p on the week. 40kg char x at £107

AA bull calf born this morning, out of a pure Dexter cow bought last year. The first cow to calve on the farm for at least 25 years.

There not all low slung.

Going to do the roadside hedges as normal, but will only go over the sides on infield hedges, to leave the top to grow this year. Hopefully get some extra winter shelter and shade for the livestock if we're due more Summers similar to this year. By then I'll hopefully have a few decent saplings...

Ive done exactly the same as an experiment. Bought a 30 month steer privately earlier this year and he's just gone into meat boxes. Sold 12 x £100 boxes, so all my costs are covered, and have 50kg left over for the family. Will definitely do it again.

Our Forage rape field that was sown DD on 31st August is coming up nicely.

Did exactly the same myself last week. Had 8 acres that had been kept back since June that had just stopped growing and was very patchy. Was thinking I'd get 15 haylage bales, but ended up with 28. Also more than happy with the aftermath that's coming in place of the dried up crap that was there.

Bought my first Dexter steer earlier this year, some for our freezer and some as meat boxes. He's now hanging up at the slaughter house awaiting collection. Killed out at 254kg at 39 months. Will definitely be getting some more.

Just finished the 2nd cut of Haylage. The Renault on Haybob duties. came to the farm new in 1980. Next door neighbours Case 956 baling and another neighbour wrapping with his Inter.

Forage rape that was DD'd last week. Had some slurry and its rained nearly every day since drilling. We'll see what it looks like in December.

Without checking , I think it's about £600? but our TS5 was £350

Agreed. We've had a Touareg V6 auto for a number of years. Pull's a 3.5t trailer like a train, but is a bit thirsty when pushing hard. Was a revelation after our manual Discovery TD5 !!!

A mate of mine had his son visit the house for a few days. He reckoned that the Tesla car he had cost around £6 a day to charge, doing up to 120 miles a day.

Yes, but its good to see whole Wheat, Barley and Maise at high levels.

Ran out of home blend yesterday, so collected some Lamb finisher blend from CCF today in tote bags @ £359/t

Keep it as simple as possible. The daughter has her own small flock, run in conjunction with mine. All lambs get the same flock number. Our lambs are tagged with the same colour secondary tag, but mine have yellow eid in left ear and hers go on the right. Very easy to differentiate between...
