Just the ewe lambs, tups on land adjoining the mountain and twins stay down.

I'd never heard it before but our Agronomist explained last year that our extremely hard water reduces the effectiveness of Glyphosate so we have to up the rate. Rain water should be softer. It would also make the steam cleaner last longer!

T1 on spring barley today until I got rained off this evening, but I'm not complaining.

New venture looking a bit different now! Had 3 guests so far and they've all loved it. We are lucky in our setting with the views and beaches etc. the gf makes all the guests a pot of marmalade or jam, adds a wee touch I guess.
First lot of calves in for de-horning. Playing some arable games just now too getting some fields ready for some more Triticale and new grass. (No photos, get some tomorrow). Took the loader off the tractor too for sh1!s and giggles

First few hours of the day were a little stressful, weekly butcher visit and had to be back for TB test, except every road in the county was either gridlocked or closed. The vet beat me to the farm and when we went down to the cows i was confronted with a couple of boy pigs running around
Still, she managed to check the Jersey calves and one Sussex without using the crush or any man-handling, which meant i just had to get the mad one in, and they all got the all clear, thankfully.
After finding the loose pigs i went and collected 3 new additions from the local dairy
so back to this....
Did some fencing in the rain, twigged i could use the spare safety chain hook on the knocker to pull out dodgy posts instead of turning the tractor round and using the loader...

Oh hell and everyman and his dog was justifying a Landie truck cab or pick up for proper working farmers and their dogs on other threads so they kept separate

Long pants today.
Wet overnight and most of the afternoon, fenced the lambs behind a hedge and dodged some hail
Bit of a change from 16° last week to 3° today, best yet to come, snow flurries to sea level forecast for the weekend...

You say this now ...
Had to go move the rest of the sheep about ten to six.
not that they give a sh!+ about a bit of cold stuff, more because I like to do what I can for them and there's plenty of tucker about.
The concrete out front is now white
Steroids you say?? I think Mama Nature is on peyote or psilocybin!!
End of June will be rosy I reckon.
