    Is it possible for me to turn over a piece of scrappy land?

    I think there will be very few farmers/landowners who would be happy to support you if you were wanting to live on the site. Its one thing to grow your own veg, keep some hens etc but anything more than that could have planning/legal implications.

    Here we go - ‘The Countryside Is Racist’

    So are we just talking about people of colour? Because I would imagine agriculture has quite high employment rates of white non Uk nationals. Certainly are a lot in Cornwall. If you are moving to a new country would you move to somewhere that has people of the same heritage, religion, language...

    Schmallenberg

    Is anyone having issues with ewes prolapsing? Had 2 pedigree ewes both push their guts out. No prior signs of a prolapse, still out on grass with Lifeline buckets and due 9th Feb. So bloody frustrating, the year we cut back numbers and keep the best handful to lamb and this happens!

    Storing propcorn grain

    Keep an eye on the temp. Ours heated up really badly and we had to tip it all out to cool it down. Whether the mill mix guy hadn’t put enough on?

    Scabivax

    We have just ordered Scabigard (I think) from our vets as they can’t get Scabivax.

    Orf

    Its a virus so just needs to run its course. You can vaccinate against it, we do the ewes before lambing and the lambs once we have enough to open a bottle. I hate Orf! Its a beastly condition.

    What animal was this?

    We were in South Africa on a Uni field trip and one afternoon went back to the accommodation as the students were all working, woke up to see a big male baboon sat on the bottom half of the stable door of our little lodge! They also used to go up on the roof and they nicked next doors washing...

    What animal was this?

    Hands up, shouldn’t have rushed, not a Baboon! Should know better as we have a Baboon skull in our collection at work!

    Teeth are wrong for an ungulate.

    What animal was this?

    Shame it’s incisors have gone but agree with the above, it looks like a Baboon, bit random!

    Should a dealer buy back a piece of machinery they sold you

    They are under no obligation to buy it back. No doubt if you wanted to trade it back for something else it would be a different story, they are running a business too. Speak to your finance company.

    Heptevac first timers

    Why don’t you just do the 2022 lambs the same time as your 2023 lambs, they will then just fit in with both jabs. If they have survived this long I wouldn’t worry too much.

    Royal Cornwall Show photo report

    They certainly need to manage the Members pavilion better, generally full of totally rat arsed teenagers. You wouldn’t be able to behave like that in any other pub/bar particularly in the daytime and it is totally unacceptable when you have families using the facilities too.

    Sheep Clamp

    Looks very similar, we have a Combi Clamp with the metal floor and would change it to rubber matted as they slip on it. Think the area you stand on needs to be solid as I think the bars would be slippery if wet or muddy. I HATE the chain width adjusters as they are so highly sprung they will...

    Permitted development

    No, rural surveyor daughter says ‘the land needs to form an agricultural unit of over 5 ha’ no mention of ownership or declaration of ownership on the form.

    This Farming Life. New series.

    She didn’t really ‘ditch’ a top medical career, she quit half way through her degree. Fair way off a top career. Fair play to her though she seems to have those cattle doing well.
