I leave mine at 18m all the time fertiliser and making openings mowing. Find a line somewhere near middle of field and follow it.

Soil analysis would be good starting point to see what's needed. My farm always needs a lot of potash for cutting

Vicon Rom will sow 15m easy enough.

If you're aiming to drive 12m apart set at 12 m. Check that offset is 0 and reciever in middle of cab roof. I usually just sow fertiliser with it at ON and paint the field green and don't bother with AB lines. Straighten up 1 side if needed and sow away from it saves having narrow strip left...

Greenmount college do that cross on their hill farm iirc they had some bother with calving to do with the genotypes and the shorthorn carrying the gene that caused big calves with the same gene in limousins. Needed a double F94L bull to be safe.

Learnt most at the school of hard knocks! Some decent cattle books and videos out there showing general anatomy after that it's a bit of have a go. If you have vet out watch them closely and have a feel of what they're feeling. I learnt a lot from a good vet and would tackle most things now...

It always paid to feed good grass to good stock.

Can't see trailer boys getting more than min wage here. Big hours and it would add up.

£40k won't go far unless high hours, might get baby puma/maxxum or t6 180. 30 series premium jd going up in value would be a good but tough buy.

Certainly no way to keep........................................................................ . ...................STRAW

Those are awful things I'd much rather calve a cow in a big pen on a halter. I use a self locking feed barrier with a home made 2 bar gate hinged off it to hold a cow for milking or getting calf to suck.

If not already I'd get her outside to a garden or somewhere. Betamox or synulox usually my choice

Unscrew the hexagon pipe on top of the bottle. Leave breather cap at top alone. Takes 80/90 gear oil, fill to max mark and leave to sink it may take a few goes over days to get level to stay constant if its low.

Sometimes easier to pull from both ends to a stainer in middle of run especially if ends are both in corners.

Doesn't matter what distance or reason for not viewing.
