Today at work I Sold an Angus stock bull then tedded 20 acres of hay, checked around all cattle, took water to one bunch who’s stream has dried up, then loaded a trailer of last years hay for my father to deliver. All this with a broken arm it would appear after falling over this morning before starting work. Thought my arm was hurting a bit!!

selective haircut on primary feathers to prevent escape, lost 3 out of 45.

Then found one in one of the pig sheds a long way from home.

Me and the OH have mainly been moithering hay

but I Mowed some arable silage yesterday

me and the boss raked it this afternoon 

managed an ice cream stop

 decided i cant do it all, must be my age. So got mate in to bale and wrap it.

the boss went for a ride with him while we loaded a trailer or two.. Shes just come home and said, daadddd, don't be upset but his tractor is way cooler than yours
