It’s a bit undulating, but had to follow the purlins, which are concrete and had sagged,
Which meant keeping a straight line was difficult,
Customer was happy,
Good job I would say .👍
I bet it rains tonight. Just 4-5mm.
Just come back from fetching a cow and calf 20 miles away it was raining steady there....get back home ..dry as a bone 😬😬😬

Fell victim to Mr Putins suspected little games. Couldn’t understand why the tractor was telling me it needed to do a regen when it was only serviced in the last month. Turns out that the ransomeware on AGCO’s IT systems meant the message hadn’t got through to the tractor. :scratchhead:

Thankfully the other tractor in the fleet doesn’t seem to have been affected yet

Not what you want to see in the morning, but she was alright after a shakey bit of physio. In full view of the road and had attracted an audience, god only knows what they thought I was doing to the poor ewe. I wonder if I’m on some sort of list now.

Rest of the day spent rolling and covering the silos.

They didn't want to take it to market for fear of people thinking its too poor to be in market and it was their last animal so I kindly helped them out by giving it a home .
