The like is for your attitude not the content of the postShite happens mate, especially with livestock.
It rounds off my worst ever business decision. I bought 3 in calf heifers and 2 bulling ones from a friend 14 months ago to help build the herd up for £4200. The 3 in calf ones calved while I was down your way and just after: 2 cesareans both huge dead calves & 1 dead huge calf by Jack, lost 2 of the heifers afterwards as well. The 2 bulling heifers have now calved to our own bull: 1 huge live calf by Jack with heifer down for 2 days & today's calf dead with a vet bill.
Final tally: 3 heifers survive and 1 calf.
At least We live to fight another day

Tried carrying wedges of the hestons into the shed but it just falls apart outside, got 6 hestons in as a trial as much to see if the birds would eat it for a bit of fibre as anything, no idea if it has blackgrass in or not so decided the best thing was to bale it up on some permanent pasture, that way any blackgrass won't matter.

A couple of little nippers cleared quite an area there.

I’ve seen a turkey shed where there was a rail suspended from above with a flat sledge slung from it ( a bit like a cable car) which would slide down the shed taking a quadrant bale on the platform and the operator could lift off wads as he pushed it down the track.

Last day digging this out today, tip area full to busting, so time to mothball the job until next year. It’s been a wet one....
windscreen gets covered, from unavoidable splashing, and the rain today helped massively
time for a tidy up and get the kit cleaned up

I am beginning to wonder if that bloodline are going way over time with their calves. I expected her to calve a month ago and the nightmare ones last June were expected in early May.Far out.... hard to know a single way to add cheer to that
Any ideas why the massive calves?
It's.so.fluffffffy
