We had nice cows & talked to them. Used to love to curry comb them in the spring.

My job before school, give them all some rolled barley, muck them out, give them some chopped swedes, bed them down with fresh straw & finally some hay. Hardly had to go outside lovelly on a snowy morning, shut windows if frosty. So no frozen water bowls. Putting on 4 calves for multi suckling looked nice but hard work pulling them off. Angus x Fresian cows put to Red Star AI bulls.
red star bull's that's a blast from the past!

Hearing aids no good ? My mother is deaf it’s bloody awful you have my sympathy .

And mine. The only saving grace was that she could turn her hearing aids off when Dad had the tele on, always so loud that we could hear it across the farmyard. Not that there was anything wrong with his hearing of course, oh no. :rolleyes:😂

Unfortunately I know that I’m well down the same road, as Mrs NeilO keeps reminding me. :(

Deafness imo get discounted as a minor disability but imo its massive , i saw my mother withdraw frim her friends as she couldnt hear so stopped going out with them …. Which is a big thing when your old ….. deafness is big problem bigger thsn many think with more symptoms as simply unable to hear ….
