aye, for about 3 nano-seconds, until one of them poops againaye but do you not think there is something about a newly mucked shed, great satisfaction

No shavings, they run one of those poo picker vacuum cleaners round the field, with horses that are out all year round (with plenty of shelters), so it's just horse nuggets!If that is horse S--- in shavings, it's not worth spreading, unless they're paying for that too. Been there done that and got the badges.
On the other hand I got 30 odd ton of this stuff to try today, theoretically dynamite in comparison. Ex layers cages

I'm a 60 miles down the road when he phones to tell me all is OK and she is looking after all three. It's great to know but I'm not sure what I could do if it wasn't ok! (I didn't have the heart to tell him I checked at 0430 before I left)Pulled triplets this evening, just in time for take to take charge tomorrow while I go to Kent for work for the rest of the week.

Weighed Fri bulls, averaging 150kg now, so should be ready to leave end of May
Top 10 averaged 180.6kg
Watered pumpkins in the barn, flowers just appearing as they didn't go in til Christmas, when the pigs went away to be bacon
Drafted out top of lambs and realised they're heavier than my eyecrometer gave them credit, will probably send some away. Putting on 400g per day and calves about 900g.
Lunchtime!
Started on saturday to muck oot half the shed. Second least favourite job.

Bottom right, the Fun Boy 2, top right, Posie and the current bull's mother awaiting an AI opportunity. They can go out but Posie (17) doesn't 'do' weather. (Note to self: continue development of bespoke watering system.)

The two bottom right are purebred Bazadaise steers, the cows behind are also Bazadaise.What breed is the two lying in the bottom right in the last photo
Is that Shorthorns in the 4th photo
Why do some cyclists think road closed signs don't apply to them?Water board have road closed to install mains water for someone. Posh bugger!View attachment 475096
So away we go with tree lopping while road's shut.

It would be fine without the cyclists that keep ignoring the road closed signs and creeping up on me. I'll get one yet.
Then was asked if I'd like to Demo one of these.
The new dealership Battlefield Machinery are selling them.
