I agree with that , you can have easy calving and good conformation/weight at sale time. The less intervention in the calving of cows is surely the way to be going . In my opinion the amount of Caesarians that need to be done now , some actually scheduled does not sit right really.

Yes i agree , buy an expensive pair and i either rip them on wire or something or spill battery acid on them. :D

These are really good value ,pretty hardwearing and at that price buy half a dozen pairs for the price of some other trousers. https://forcesuniformandkit.co.uk/collections/trousers-and-combat-shorts/products/austrian-olive-green-combat-trousers-button-fly-super-grade

If you put aside the fact that it has been a wet Autumn, a wet winter and a wet early Spring , i would say April is more like how i remember it 40-50 years ago. Cold unless you get some sun and the grass going backwards from the earlier lushness .Our ground has dried a lot in the last week but...

Don,t say that or it will go to his head and he will be even more insufferable :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Yes the outside layer dust is due to moisture in the air which we have had an awful lot of last winter. It gets on there and then dries , repeat a few times and you have a layer of dust on exposed edges. I have got some Ryegrass , Timothy bales just the same. I would have stacked them on edge...

If it is fit to bale , it is fit to stack , Round Bales on end will always get dusty on the edges especially in a year like we have had with a lot of moisture getting on the bales even in the barn. That is what causes the dust and is why they are better on edge. Actual foust in the bale though...

It is just playing the system , much like the SFI payments. There seems to be a "Holier than thou" attitude with some farmers who have been playing the system for years.

Could be quite soon with WW3 about to kick off:(

Yes , much like it is the Taxpayers business what the farmers are doing with all their handouts.;)

No more sinful than large arable farms and estates putting virtually whole farms into SFI nonsense. There is a lot of the Pot calling the Kettle black at the moment on several threads .If it was bought fair and square it is up to the new owners what they do with it whether we like it or not.

I would have thought it would easily handle a bigger Bucket/Grab than that.

Absolutely and as i have now got past 60 by a few years i quite like a short nap. I used to laugh at my Dad and grandad having 40 winks . Not laughing now. :D

Better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick. :cool:

Get a donkey.

I dont doubt it but maybe the re planting should have kept up somewhat more. If you take that Sycamore Gap tree , why was it the only tree for miles around when they obviously will grow there. The answer is sheep.

Still a lot of trees round here, far more than just after the second world war. I go to Scotland regularly and just wonder what all that expanse of "open" country looked like years ago when it was ancient forest.

I suppose not so many years ago the open rolling hills and moorland of the north would have been covered in forest. The rise of sheep led to the reduction of forest . Sheep are reasonably profitable atm but maybe there should be more plantations of native trees in the hills. The fact is that...

This camp was up near my relations in Scotland.https://scarf.scot/regional/higharf/highland-archaeological-research-framework-case-studies/skibo-camp/

I had a ped Hereford heifer do that some years ago. She went absolutely loopy for about 24 hrs but did accept the calf after that. I have seen heifers lick and bite at a calfs navel so much they rip the guts out the calf .:banghead: .Trying animals at times.
