Pollen and nectar strip looking ideal, why can't they all be like that?

Flower rich meadow OK too despite being quite disappointing last year when newly sown.

Took some bulling heifers for a date with Big Frank

It didn’t take him long to say hello

Then the pleasantries were over as quickly as they’d begun

Put the improved deviner web on the windrower to try.

The web is on the left hand unit and worked really well carrying most the haulm out over the back. Still got a bit of fine tuning to do and then make a web for the right hand side.

Arthritis in elbows and a f**ked back don’t mix well with sheering

Finished the field walking. Only one black grass plant this year in this 48acres. It is quite a relief after spending 5 part days a year roguing it for at least the last 5 or 6 years. Overall this year there has been nil black grass in the known hotpots so roguing does eventually win. Winter barley in the background quite a contrast to the spring.

It is good that you are staying on-site now in the 'van.

Can never be too careful it looks like catchy weather.

@Hfd Cattle how are you getting on with the new rake? I'm still on a single rotor and finding things painfully slow this year with more ground to try and cover with it.

String lined

holes dug......

Bùggér

Never good finding water....... 3 feet down and there was a 90mm storm water pipe ffs....

planned on using rubber couplers. Fine one end. Other end was the gift that kept on giving....Pipe did a 90° bend . Thought fine. I'll knock the busted fitting off and put a new elbow on. Turns out it a frìģgen T piece. So shoved the pipe on as best I could and tightened up the other end.....And pretended I never saw it...

And got a call from the uncle of @Ben B . Seems we had a few escapes that were a few km's from home...

God how they try my patience....
