A few properly hung gates around the yard to Stop cattle breaking out probably wouldn’t go a miss. looks like he’s needing RT to sell fat cattle to abattoir. Probably won’t have had it before if retailing all milk to the public

Does it protect the brand. Kinda devalues the whole idea of farm assurance

Maybe not a great photo but is she a bit lean?

He’s got a bit cringeworthy playing to the masses now. Used to really enjoy his stuff but have stopped watching now

I guess every producer has the choice to abide by the rules and take the handout or just not worry about about the subsidy on the calf and do what they want re calving intervals etc. if you read a lot of what Scot Gov are proposing for the new regime there’s going to be way more hoops to jump...
