    Feckin thundering here just now along with horizontal rain. 🙈 Given up with sheep for time being and come inside for coffee. On plus side a mate just phoned on way home from Lanzarote…. Rained every day there too but a bit warmer at 18-20 c

    Ny grass parks are all rested since mid jan and re decent green colour but not much eating in them. If I dont get something on them soon run out of grass once ewes are set stocked

    Quad bike

    Just traded a 2 wheeler in for my new quad. Like you felt it was worth a shout trying one. Great for rounding stock up and very quick and turns tighter and quicker, BUT a real pain in the butt every time you get to a gate having to put a stand down same with trying to catch a ewe , by the time...

    Roxan Tags

    Never had a problem with them. Use their tags all the time. I do have a good rapport with the rep though. She’s good at getting things sorted.

    Hogs at £200 plus….what price shearling ewes?

    Go easy fella. You dont want to flood the market. Selling the flock all at once might push you into the super tax bracket 😳
