Pure bred belty mum with limmy steer at foot. Lovely pair. We bought a few of these a while back with the idea of moving to out wintering, we have found that our ground just can't hold cattle up this year. This is the last one to calve and is the last one we have left to go. Only for sale as...

Got a JCB 540-70 which over runs when you switch it off. I have to stall it to stop. Had a mechanic look at it and it's fuel pump related. Narrowed it down to the latching valve, a pretty easy fix. Does anyone know if this is the right one...

Got a box of spirals left over from planting a few hedge plants. Based in central Cheshire. Looking for £50 for the box.

Morning all, had a WiFi bridge set up. We can't get it to talk to the main BT box, how do you go about setting this bit up? The WiFi is working in all sheds (I can see it with my phone) but it is locked out like a private channel

Hi all, do you need planning permission for a water tower? I want to pump water from the brook (less than the 20m3 limit) up to a tower and then feed from that to troughs. Would this be ok or fall fowl of the planning dept. Thanks

Hi all I'm trying to find where the rules on liquid muck storage are for beef animals on loose box straw. All the rule I can find are either dairy cattle or for cubicles. I'm in the process of building/designing a new shed and want to put the store under it. Looking at our current shed, there...

Hi all, I have a international b275 in need of an injection pump refurbishment. All the mechanics I know won't recommend anyone to do the job as they've had good and bad experiences with similar. Does anyone know anyone who would be competent enough to do it? And trustworthy enough not to run...

Hi all, I recently bought 2 in calf heifers from an online auction. They were sold as PD and the due dates given. Dates have come and gone, the auctioneer has paid the original vet to come and re PD and they're both empty. Turns out the original PD was in Feb and the Auction was in July. I...

I'm having a rather worrying run of abortions. Beef suckler herd, regen grazing. Lost 2 in 3 weeks out of 6 cows due to calve. Both at 8 months, other cows also calved early but living. Have noted that the two aborted just 2 days after a move up the road, two separate occasions. Those cows run...

Anyone know if this is a hoax, or is it really this bad out there?

As above, 12.5+ acres of whole crop wheat. Good crop available in Wettenhall, Cheshire. Standing crop, open to offers and not expecting silly money. Option to combine and bale straw if that is preferred route. PM me

Morning all, I'm trying to register the farm yard so I can claim for the traditional farm building under HS1 on a mid tier application. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance

Hi all, I'm after somewhere where I can see all the grants and what's needed in England. Ive been on .gov website but there seems to be loads and they're intricately woven into a rabbit Warren and I've no idea what grant goes with which scheme We've claimed just bps for years, but with the...

Does anyone know of what help may be available and what's entailed? I've seen something may be around the end of the year, but if we need "professional advice" at an exorbitant cost then it might be better to just go it alone?

Hopefully this link works... This guy has put together a video debunking the onslaught of vgn propaganda against the meat/dairy industry. Thought I'd post for interest, it may already have been found and be elsewhere on here. My review is that it's a breath of fresh air to hear a properly put...

How do I get a sow to stand for AI, she's swollen up and gone a bit red (not as much as I've seen but some difference). She came off the litter last Friday and I think shes on heat, just won't stand. Any tricks or tips greatly received 🙂 No boar available or I'd let him do the work!!

Morning all. Just tried to get some more tags and the number on the website isn't recognised... Anyone got their number to hand? Thanks in advance

Just had a bag of nuts off the mill, should be 20kg. It felt a bit light so I checked it, 16kg! Checked the others, closer to 19kg... That could be my scales... Anyone else noticed anything similar, do they always under sell? Bit miffed tbh, there's no margin in farming anyway but you would at...

Evening all, as per title. I'm looking for someone who would be interested in running one of my gilts with their boar, not really bothered what breed. I'm in central Cheshire near Beeston auction so as close as possible is best. Thanks for looking.

I'm after 20t of calcium lime tipped near Tarporley, Cheshire. Smaller loads considered but thought a full load would save on transport. Pellets to allow application with fert spinner ideal, but some will be mixed with fym in the shed before spreading so not mandatory. Thanks in advance
