Think it’s called a schistazome or something like that, had one via a Caesarian from a heifer and it came out with a beating heart on the outside, was very disturbing.

is that large yellow thing in the sky transferable. No real let up here. Cows out by day but not happy about it. Growth looks really poor. Everytime I go to check it pisses it down

I read something on Facebook the other day saying to remember that the clocks go forward an hour on the 31st, which would mean we would lose an hour of rain.

At the moment they really aren’t far wrong we’d a dry week at the start of March ground was starting to get into shape but it has rained every day since

Had some bales for the dry cows delivered by a farmer 5 miles from here. He’s been recording the rainfall for the 28 years he’s been on his farm. Last year was the wettest, 96”, 50%+ more than average, there was 16” in December!
March this year has had over 7” so far!

Yeah we call them inside out calves. Concerning when you go to the calving paddock and see guys hanging out the back of a cow
My attempt. Down autumn 2021.Tomorrow's feed. Was a decent chunk of plantain in this. All gone now. Rye grass and some clover remain. Will stitch some more herbs in this year for sam3.
Need this weather to settle. Plenty to go at. View attachment 1171147

Had to laugh at our newish Cotswold Wash Station this morning .
I went to use it with hands already plastered with Swarfega and oil and it refused to work when I offered my hands up to the sensor .
Cue lots of swearing as it didnt matter how close or what direction I moved hands in front of the sensor window , it wasnt having it!!!! Cut power ,then retried but no!
So in comes the wife ,wanting to know what cussin is about , puts her hand in front and off it goes
But as much as I try ,it wont work for me !!!! She tries again ,and it strikes up !!
Is it me? I recall our parlour man trying to make it work when he did the plumbing and it would only work for me on that day
But it doesnt want to today !!
Discrimination??
The other funny thing ,is the tanker driver frequently sets it going when he walks past in his hi Viz waistcoat , bloody thing

It’s got a special sensor on it that prevents it performing non dairy work!Had to laugh at our newish Cotswold Wash Station this morning .

I am not kidding - its a conspiracyIt’s got a special sensor on it that prevents it performing non dairy work!
