I was feeling very proud of myself today as i managed to set the autosteer on the tractor so i sent my son a message. He rang me up to tell me well done. We were discussing how quiet the tractor was and how things had changed since i’d started driving a Ford 4000 and how if i’d wanted to call him in those days i’d have needed a long extension cord. Yes he replied you’d have to have sent smoke signals so someone could saddle up the dinosaur and bring you out some shearbolts in the old days.

I don't know whether to laugh, cry or just be generally outraged at the total lack of understanding these self styled critics of livestock farming have

One of the great joys of sheep keeping is when the lambs get old enough to group up , and then go like the clappers across the field , finishing up playing "King of the Castle "

It's one of the joys of sheep keeping - yes , there are a few ! It reminds me of the piano tuner , who gets to play the piano quietly when he finishes . Or I suppose the midwife who gets to have a little nurse at the new baby she just delivered .

After a year and a half I've finally made a bond with my Collie, she now almost now likes me . Trying to be her best friend, and the dog had no interest it was actually very disheartening.

My dogs have always ridden in the back of my truck.
The old bitch, that I have now, was never really my dog, until one day she rode on the passenger seat, - she put her paw on my hand when I changed gear and she's loved me ever since
