    Confessions of the Sheep/Beef Cattle/Pig Addicts

    Yes but only once, led on her lambs in the middle of the field and pushed her uterus out. Think she'd had an infection

    Confessions of the Sheep/Beef Cattle/Pig Addicts

    Not often sentimental about cows but these 2 are off to the cull ring in the morning, first heifers I bought 10 years ago to start my pedigree herd. Never missed a beat until this year when they didn't get in calf

    A good calving course?

    Maybe a bit late for indoor Lambers but the basics are much the same if you could find someone to follow around for a bit.

    A good calving course?

    Have you spoken to your vet? Ours run various farmer training courses but we are quite a way from NW England. It's a tricky one because there's not really any substitute for experience, even with training every calving is a bit different and if you aren't doing it often I think it probably...

    BT /Open reach

    It's not really the engineers fault, I've not even seen one yet. BT very helpfully sent out a 4g router so we could have some sort of internet. That was delayed by a week because someone at BT decided not to send it out for reasons unknown. Oh and also we don't get 4g in my house 🤐

    Whats going on with MVF ?

    I've had the same problem, the SQP was on holiday or something and they didn't have anyone to cover 🤷‍♂️ To be fair though on your second point that is what they are meant to do, not just dish it out willy nilly
