I've noticed we have odd years with more than one breach....but then they're fine, with none at all* years either side. (pure bred South Devons) Same bulls, same cows, (and same pee poor level of nutrition.....) *none that I see....who knows what happens when they calve themselves overnight...

I wouldn't say this forum is especially racist or homophobe. I recall I inadvertently used a term backalong which had 'become offensive' (I wasn't using it insultingly in any way). I was pulled up instantly by some members who knew the term to be considered offensive, and i toot sweet apologised...

read the offer again.....I'd decide who bears the expenses. I reckon £50/hour would be a bargain!

It'll only dig their hole deeper....there's already a list of MPs demanding their demise

I'd go to your MP and the sec of state, and offer, instead of wasting more public money, and your time, that they appoint someone to mediate. All NE are doing now, even if they beat you, is to make themselves look officious, and untouchable. They're already wondering why I'm denying them...

thankyou, yes, but there's a tractor in the way...i wanted landscapes and such! i've never been to Finland

Somewhat direct spoken dealer Ken Jones reckoned anyone who claimed to lose less than 10% of the lamb crop was 'a f$£%ing liar'

I thought it was wrapped silage that raised the life expectancy round here. No more 'farmers lung'. (quad accidents pulled it back a bit soon after mind)

That's working on the premise that each ram is better than the previous....which isn't always the case. When we're really on it, jnr goes through ewes at tupping, and marks best teeth etc, then using that, we select tup lambs off ewes we like the look/performance off later. Critically, i want...

we still want more photos!

We've got 2 x 30 series, and there's never a queue to drive either! A 6330 has a savage clutch with no-one (inc 2 JD dealers) has managed to sort....which everyone hates. As I understand, the 10's had no electrics to the clutch, and they just don't fail. (it's like JD have built some...

Never had a 20 series, but 2x 30 series here both have got stupid electrics, which require dealer/laptop fixes most years. Tin work is much lower spec as time went on...as OP has seemingly discovered. 10 series will go on with a scratch in paint for years...years and years, and not rot out. I've...

I see you're sorted now, although I'd have gone a bit older. 10 series have been much better for me....they started going downhill thereafter. Good luck up there in finland! Do you keep cattle....post some pics!

we're already there....'experts' deciding how many sheep can graze, where, and when.

Reactor cow here reared her own calf to weaning, prior to reacting....it has tested clear consistently.
