yes have full records, ewe lambs bought in from livestock market moved straight to grass keep then moved back to home, have license for all moves, have all the tags I’ve cut out in a box ready to reorder the replacements.

Heres a question, I’ve cut tags out of some ewe lambs ears last week that are badly infected - caused by the 3 in 1 feeders i think, now I presume i need to get them retagged before my inspection to the detriment of their welfare?? Have the tags I’ve cut so i can reorder but they wont be here in...

I’ve been informed I’m having an RPA sheep inspection this week for the home holding, anything I need to know before i get my pants pulled down ? TIA H-C

Give her a fortnight then jab with estrumate and serve catch her on return cycle if need be

Not quite that far yet but eyes look sore and running nose is runny with yellow discharge, high temp of 41 degrees and sh looks really unhappy

Got a poorly cow (one of my favourite and best cows) and the vet thinks it’s possibly MCF. Prognosis doesn’t sound good if it is. Anyone ever had a case? Sounds like its very uncommon, TIA H-C

Its a lovely idea but for the cost and time to make them it’s easier to just feed on top of the forage as mentioned above, twice daily works for us

Feed analysis should be readily available on each batch of feed. If whats on the label is incorrect or dishonest then they’d be in severe breach of trading standards and liable to lose their trading license as a result.

Both very good bikes, the honda 500 is a power house and built stronger than its smaller brother the 420, they hold a very good resale value and are easily sold to a strong demand from what i can see of it. If the price is right I wouldn’t hesitate!

Inject with draxxin on arrival?? Really?? Im amazed a vet would suggest that! Usually they want you to arse about taking temperatures for a week and creating a list of symptoms first

Have both a gator 855 and a honda 420 here couldn’t manage without either. Use gator to take round bale hay or numerous bags of feed to grass keep 2 miles away. Will literally go anywhere in the wet. A wise man once said “gators are sh!t but there’s no better sh!t” and he’d be right, ive tried...

I wouldn’t rush personally! Bad feet, bad mouths, nesh and way to much kerry blood in them to name a few downsides. Rumour has it you can trace the entirety of the breed back to just two sires from the 70s now which doesn’t leave much if a gene pool to play with. They breed hells of mules though.

Send them and if they’re to dirty defra dont get paid it shouldn’t effect your compensation because you can have them shot on farm, chucked in the skip and you still get full compensation. Fudging TB is a nightmare as it is without the powers that be putting pressure on about how clean they are...

Anybody have some king bull straws they are willing to part with?
