How are you getting on with your Devon’s?

They,ve all settled in well and the bull has been busy so should see next batch of calves on the ground in the autumn. They are pretty bullet proof it would seem and docile/stubborn.

Bull is nice a quiet other than gets wound up a bit by dogs, local shoot pickers up had to beat a hasty retreat, though they should not have been in with him as I did warn them!!

Will soon be booking the first steer in at the abattoir and looking forward to see the end product.

Got the last of the firewood out of the forest before the snow they’re calling for tomorrow and then the drop in temperature. Should keep us warm for a year or two.View attachment 934067View attachment 934068

When I was in Norway I was told/it looked most people still had the traditional barns with slurry storage underneath. Would have loved a look round some setups

I could do with that load, can you bring it round? I am not paying the transport though but will give you a cup of tea when you get here.

I’ve swiftly come to the same conclusion.
The council usually call us out at dawn, where you have to contend with stuck cars and beached 4x4 ‘heroes’, so I thought a night shift would be nice and quiet...
- when In fact it’s was just mind numbingly dull
