    Sheep scanning accuracy

    Fella that comes here is more or less 100% scanning over 15 years here and cant really remember getting more than 1 or 2 wrong in that time and you could set your watch by him as well. He hurt his back one year for the early lambers and got a well know fella in and most have got 40% wrong, never...

    The Rwanda Plan

    Been laid up with covid this week so had chance to catch up on goings on across the water & in COP. Question I have on UK: What is the Tories end game here, obviously this gaslighting approach is to garner votes but it’s obvious it wouldn’t be enough and probably will split the party. They’ve 10...

    This isn't going to end well!

    There's been an anti Israeli feeling here for a long time, you d find it hard find anyone who supports Israel in its approach for the past two decades. Its very much routed anti Israel government and not anti Jewish or indivdual israelis. I have two jewish friends who are very annoyed about the...

    Propionic acid. Treatment methods please?

    Sorry to open this again but question on using the propionic acid. Have an auger bucket here for the loader, and was thinking of treating some whole grain through. Question is would it work and what is the best way to apply the acid, small knapsprayer or just pour in as grain is turning?

    Northern Irish Politics Thread (or what passes for politics in NI)

    FF will thrown Martin under the bus at some stage and go in with SF, will keep SF in tow to an extent and also will cover their lack of talent a little. But SF will need to grow up quick or could be short stay if happens

    Whites bits in stored barley

    Not sure it’s looks for any other explanation that the grain has popped. He thought there was a name to it and could be dangerous for cattle, I’ve never heard of it before. I thought might just be damage from being turned considering the year that’s in it

    And Israel return to 1967 borders? Right thing to do and what will happen there are two very different things. Over 20 years ago rented a house from a West Bank settler. Went out for dinner with him one night when here, grand fella but Jesus he lived in a paranoid strange view on life. He was a...

    Mixing grain

    Organic so propcorn only one allowed I believe. Have a fella that would make a mixer bucket for the loader, which would be handy but like idea of tmr to finish lambs maybe as have red clover and arable silage available.

    Mixing grain

    Mixing own grain here for ewes and finishing lambs, looking for something less hassle & accurate than loader and wall. Anyone using a diet feeder to just mix grain, like idea of it as can make up tmr if want and also maybe propcorn grain if need be. Any other options that would be worth...
