We all know the bird watching couple will get it. Just what the national trust is after.

Looking to hire one in the midlands area. Anyone know of any or have one?

Yeah paid for it 3 months ago. 80% removed it when this was said.

Just says milking parlour.

Evening all. This is more a question to see if I was wrong for expecting and should of asked. We’ve brought a second hand parlour a few months ago. Went and looked at it asked questions about the feeder and if there were included and if the whole milking setup was included. Yes we were told...

The age think is getting a myth these days. Like you say plenty of folks take bull up to 18-20 months and cleans to 36montgs these days.

Or even MOD areas if they is any near you. I had a mate you grazed an army training base there was alot of tarmac but it saved them strimming the banks around it don’t think he paid a penny for it and don’t be afraid to just call in at a farm if you see they have a field full of grass in...

But @RyanI my advice to you now is yes you are over paying for that one block of land. Some if you look for another block at a cheaper price that will then spread you cost per acre. Normally wildlife trusts are very cheap rent, granted they have a lot of rules but they want people to manage...

There isn’t many people who have it handed down to them without some form of debt or having work 90hours weeks since they were 16 and finally getting it at 70. I think it’s advisable to just chill on your comments before you start getting a lot of abuse from people.

I’ve told my landlords £60/acre you put a stewardship on it and I’ll do the maintenance or £120/acre and I’ll have the stewardship and you do the maintenance.

1st of every month I make a list in my head of the jobs I need doing. Been doing this for 14 years now. Never completed the list before the end of a month yet.

Over the next few weeks we are expanding are suckler herd and reducing the sheep numbers. We make are suckler cows out of the beef calves born off are dairy cows. At the minute we run alot of Lims and Charollais. With the plan to bull therm with a Bazidaise, Charollais or Blond. I’m after a cow...

Staffordshire Derbyshire borders. I’ll be honest are area was a very poor run one. We had a hate mob going round making everyone sign up. When you went to the meetings about it, they were like a KKK rally with people chanting and waving pitch forks. Only a few people were trained to trap the...

Nothing had a class of TB in are village till the cull started. 4 years on and we’ve not been clear, lost 50 odd cows and counting. Personally thjj I s is the best news I’ve heard all day.

That price is only half the figure. Your AI man will be £100 the straws will be around £150. I know they could be anywhere from £6 a straw to £30 a straw. For 10 cows you only want them sticky pads, any other heat time system will be to dear.
