But even "1" is different from "non stun" the op is talking about?

Everyone is getting excited about this, but is not the livestock farmer happy that a shortfall in cereals can be offset with imports rather than pay £500 / ton for barley?

But it all seems to disappear 😕

Funny how some things are so much cheaper but others much dearer in Oz.

No warning just came to a stop. If you revved it it was like it was trying to move but couldn't. Mine did turn out to be the piston pump that @ACEngineering suggested. Still going to be a good few £k Interesting to see the date I started this thread - not got mine back yet! They got the final...

Have cut back here. Easier this year with a bit under 500. Most we did ourselves was 800. All outdoors. Me and Mrs who takes a couple weeks off work. Do have a chap come in couple days a week to clean out cattle and help catch up. Few mention other workload. We always seem to end up with some...

Met office have been so far out with their longer term forecast this week, going from a depressing no hope on the 4-5 week horizon to high pressure taking over in 24 hours or so. Glad for the change anyway🙂

I have an alloy crook specially designed for lamb necks. Once caught they don't slip out, just spin around. Was sceptical when uncle told me I needed 1, but wouldn't be without now, 8 years later! Though my arms do seem to be getting shorter with age🤦‍♂️
