Sort of, its budgeted for but I'm hoping it wont be needed, reckon I can get the cows through in 2 hours including wash down, which is only 4 hours a day total so hopefully can cope on my own for the most part
Whilst milking cows can be very rewarding and profitable, as a 20 year old you need to budget a certain amount of time for boozing and shagging.

Not even a hint of dampness?
Not even a whiff 😳 did my asthma checkup last october and got asked how many units of alcohol I've consumed, I said about 20 bottles, the nurse looked horrified and really worried and started to tell me I need to cut down, suddenly occured to me she meant in a week whereas I meant over the past year 🙈😂 been in lockdown for most of the year and haven't been out or seen hardly anyone and been working every hour of the day (as theres nothing else to do!) both at home and planning for the big move so just havent been bothered with it 🤷‍♂️

talking about turnout, we are very close now, then the wife said, do you remember the year i was moving fences in the snow, in april ? No, i was in hospital. But there is still plenty of time for a late blast. The keep sheep went yesterday, later than planned, but 350 ewes, 17 acres, 14 days, grass growing against them !

we had 6ft snow drifts a fortnight since and there is still a few bits left in the hedge backs stubbornly refusing to go, which usually means there is more snow on the way to take it away :confused:
