    This isn't going to end well!

    Doing some research yesterday https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/britain-palestine-balfour-declaration-fatal-mistake Seeing that the Zionists are in control of finance and are the richest in the world. No one is going to upset Israel. For a nation of religious jews there is a lot of...

    Calf with rectal prolapse

    Big healthy bull calf spotted a few weeks ago with prolapse. Managed to get it back in seemed ok until a few days ago. Back out again, no chance of getting it to stay. Vet came injected with drugs and put in stitch. Checked this morning all ok but he is pushing loads and worried he may pop...

    Cobalt for lambs

    only bolus with agrimin depending on weights. Bolus ewes pre lamb. Drench the lambs with Welsh Farm supplies until they are average 25kg - (say 2.5 month old). Seen vast improvement with scabby ears last few years.

    Bolus yearling heifers - when is best?

    Thank you. Yes we will do that now then and plan to so it again in January to ensure iodine etc gets into the unborn calves. We dont creep feed the calves so thats another option we can price up.

    Fertiliser around solar sites

    No restrictions. yes thats my question how do you keep it away from the wires etc. The pasture was tired and the overseed completed after the panels failed. It needs attention to improve for the sheep grazing. A big section of the field doesnt have panels on it. Plenty of light soil health...

    Selling fresh produce directly to local food businesses

    I did sell pasture organic eggs very successfully but def no commercial premises would pay the additional cost compared to buying a box from Brakes. Think youd be aiming at the utter high end restaurants. You need to know about the commercial industry and margins are already tight. Egg layers...

    Fertiliser around solar sites

    Assume the only way to fertiliser the grass around the solar is quad and spreader. But concerned over length of time and the tiny spreader to keep refilling over 30 acres. Obv have to be pelleted so rates etc. Want to do this all ourselves so no sub. Anyone done this on row after row...

    Lamb birth issues

    def get vet to do biopsy and test bloods. If your soil is low in selenium then lick buckets are nothing going to achieve much. Have you had soil tests done recently? We bolus twice a year now even with bloods coming back normal find it pays off now.

    People Who Can (And Can't) Do Stuff

    plenty of people who have no idea how to paint a wall, do very basic electrics or prep food - too dangerous, too technical but then this has been drip fed that you need an expert to be paid to get anything done.
