I have just been into the local Mole Valley and, as is my want, bought 250 selenium and cobalt sheep boluses at 75% off. I have done this sort of thing many times in the past with things like blocks, boluses and minerals. I have always operated under the assumption that in a dried, powdered form...

Following a car accident that snapped a telegraph pole, Openreach want to relocate said pole onto my land. What is the going rate for this and how much should I be asking? The line caters for hundreds of people. Thanks.

What are the legalities of goosenecks and suchlike on trailer drawbars? I have a small sheep trailer that was the right height for my old Subaru Forester but since moving to a pickup it runs on the back axle alone. It is a handy little trailer and I don't want to give it up. It needs to come up...

I am now clutching at straws and am hoping that the community on here might either have some contacts or expertise. I have an 06 T5 with a faulty BCM. Body Control Module, part #7h0937049R. There doesn't appear to be a replacement, new or second hand, anywhere in Europe. Also, I am struggling to...

As my place quickly turns into a sodden marsh, I was just wondering what people's strategies where for managing grazing over the wet winters. Last year was a doddle but it's not so straight forward this time. I luckily have a small handful of fields that have some stone and back onto a track. I...

Whilst using my old DB 996 in the yard today I gave the loader a hefty whack by mistake. Since then the block has been p!issing oil from what i assume are the check valves below the levers when under load. I can't see any structural damage like cracks or twists to the loader itself. Did I just...

I am tired of doing my paperwork around the kitchen so am looking to find somewhere to use as an office. My sights have fallen on our fairly large cellar. It is in pretty good nick. We recently tidied it up with damp proofing, concrete base, plastered walls, basic carpet etc and filled it up...

Recent events around me have made me more mindful of the precarious nature of our industry on an individual level. I don't make a lot, but what I do make supports my young family. My old man is around but his ability to help is reducing by the day. If I dont do the work, it doesnt get done. If I...

If anyone is rushing to get their application in before the deadline, it's just been extended for another few weeks. No reason given but my guess is the confusion caused by the concurrent SFI stuff or that they caused themselves a backlog with the remapping and subsequent need to process...

We usually grow pea and barley silage and follow on with winter cereal. I am considering switching to the AB7 option with spring sown cereal. In this situation I would be looking to plant something either with the crop or after harvest (no cultivation is allowed with this option after harvest)...

I bought some in lamb shearling ewes the other day. They have been indoors on hay and water for 4 days since purchase. I gave them zolvix and hep P one day 1. This afternoon I noticed that one is acting a bit off. She is a bit twitchy and not moving quite right. I have given her a dose of vit B...

I'm a relative novice in such things but I do use excel spread sheets to keep various records and work out data. I have recently been trying to work out if it's possible to make a cattle sheet which takes into account deadweight, grade, age, breed, sex, etc to give info on the margins of these...

I have a fat bullock, lim x dairy, coming up to 30 months, will be fit in a week or 2. In the last few days she has been acting fairly skittish, crashing around the yard, slipping, scrabbling about, looking to climb every wall etc. They havent been turned out yet as they will all be gone soon so...

I have recently purchased a mk 7 hilux. When idly poking about in the back I realised that it seems to only have 4 lashing points. As I have a roller shutter, that appears to blank off the front 2. Plus they are all half way up for some inexplicable reason. Currently, if I went to the builders...

Im about to pull the trigger on a L200 5 series. It looks great and is priced to sell quickly. The chap says as much. Its a private seller. He says he is away with work and will only complete the sale if it is delivered to me. Obviously I only pay on delivery but im not clear if i can road test...

Been thinking about changing the habit of a lifetime and getting the wife a Xmas present with more than 48hours to spare. She wants a Scandinavian woolly jumper. I'm sure they are great quality but I also think uk produce can be equally as good. Plus I would rather spend my money a little closer...

Can somebody tell me the part number of this pipe joining the fuel tap and the injector? Can I buy it separately or is it only part of a kit? Thanks

Our old Subaru Forrester workhorse is coming to the end of its life and am starting to think about replacing it. I am looking in the region of £4k - £7k. Ideally a 3t or more towing capacity, a hi/low range gearbox and basically reliable. I am currently looking at older landcruisers, discovery...

Before the bull goes back in I have always taken the calves away from their mothers and moved to twice a day suckling for a few weeks to aid bulling. Due to an awkward piece of concreting we are doing this week (in the entrance to the shed) it will be much more difficult to bring them in twice a...

We had one out our main outlets chocked solid with sludge and roots. I have cleared the problem now but now i have a pipe with 6 - 7 hand sized holes that need repairing in over around 100m. It is an 8 inch, non perforated plastic pipe. Normally I would slice a small section of the same pipe...
