If they had been white you would have right in thinking they where exlana sheep.
No, home made posts with stays because wind pressure on 4 tapes can blow posts over. You don't want deer thinking it's ok to cross the line. Now that I have sold the farm after 43 years deer farming I am still trying to work out whether I miss them or not!
On the whole I am ok with it because I had done everything there was to do and it was time to move on. However it seems there is just as much work after "retirement" as there was before.

Both really, we fully accept the risk of farming land like this - our choice.
However I cannot help but think when the rivers were managed by the NRA & weather forecasts were done by Michael fish we would not have the frequency or in predictablity that we do now .
We’ve only had 30mm of rain

Thanks for the tip. I'm a bit worried about that one 5-6 up in the foreground - seems to have his head on the wrong end of his body!
I can’t remember which make they are I’ll check when I’m next in the yard.

Thank you, much appreciated. Need to get some ordered but don’t know whether it’s worth going to michelin

Rained off whilst cutting grass seed. Dodging wildebeest and an Ostrich sheltering from the rain.
If you have the space and need for one, it’s a fantastic machine. Mine is a L70G from 2014. It’s at 10.500 hours now. I run it about 1100 hours/year mostly loading feed mixers and muck on lorries. It’s the cheapest and most reliable way to shift materials i can imagine, and beat anything i have ever tried.
The G Series has DPF, which you will want to sort once for good. The older ones does not. The H (from 2015 and forward) has adblue.
No matter what someone want’s you to believe, never mistake a hydrostatic l50 or l45 for the bigger ones. They made l50 like the bigger ones earlier, up to the c-series i think, but not after. They newer ones are more like a big l30.
some thing like a L50
@Serup has a L70 and likes it

Volvo l50 vs jcb 412
Which one is more highly regarded as a loader? Looking at a 2005 in both models. Volvo is a bit dearer. Main duties are feeding in the winter, cleaning out houses, loading sung etc. Hardest job is on the silage clamp on the summer after an sh40 trailed harvested. Would be putting duals on.

You know what thought did.
This could have ended badly.
I knew there was a 11kv cable near this dyke but not so close....actually nearly in the bottom,had plans luckily....but did check,contractor had a cable detector.
The cable actually gets even closer in places
