My local Barclays is open and I have paid cheques in recently at the counter and on the machine. Shorter hours though, 9.30 until 2. Next town along has the machine outside like a cash point which will be handy out of hours. Guess you'd need a card to use one though, you may as well get one?

The surface area improvement of a freezer/zip lock/colostrum bag will make the biggest difference over a big thick milk bottle. Bugger all extra cost too so well worth a go.

On JCBs, I think it'll be hard to find anything above a 7 metre boom and a pickup hitch. Not impossible, but pretty rare.

Hi I need to look at the groundwork side of this now. Plan is 40 metres by 25 metres of hard standing (doesn’t have to be concrete) which would take 44 tonne wagons on it, and a 20 metre by 10 metre basic steel frame shed on the hard standing. How would those in the know attack this? Thanks!

Check the insurance first... expect big money

One way to keep lambing labour costs down

Guy up the road bought a new 720, he's lost over £100k on it in 2 years.

I think it's to gradually get people used to the way it looks - there were months of "leaked" pictures. Whenever something new comes out that looks different the majority of people hate it... then I suppose you get used to it and it grows on you.

That would be my suggestion too, something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cat-telehandler-caterpillar-Th-62-telehandler/174217242366?hash=item28902826fe:g:4g4AAOSwovFeaS~p

I’m no George but have looked at this recently... 12 metre is the height unless by airport/airspace 20/25 metres from classified road livestock building has to be 400 metres from another dwelling, don’t think the limit for forage store is anything near that. Site size is 1000m2 max

This is exactly where it came from, a lad yesterday decided to leave the loader running for half an hour whilst he had his dinner... depreciation on top of the fuel for no reason.

Do you? If you're getting back on/in it, how long is acceptable to keep it running?

Sounds surprising. Someone I know visited 3 local places that were advertising for an assistant herdsman, they all offered him the job on the spot.

All the 2000+ cow herds I know are family run
