I thought I had joint ill in two lambs, but no response to antibiotics. One was a quad the other a triplet from a twin lamb disease survivor, so not the best start in life. Oddly one outside the other inside, happened on the same day. First thing is back legs very stiff, preffering to lay on...

Production of some crops has been decimated due to the loss of insecticides over the last 20 years, sorry 45 years. Has the bee population increased, if not why not?

I don't think this Shearling has reared a lamb before, she may have lambed & lost. Very poor Mother, have to hold her to let the lamb feed. One teat works great the other appears to have skin over the teat opening, no way in. I've used Oxytocin on ewes in the past with just a drop of milk &...

I developed tooth ache on Tuesday (little warnings for a couple of years.) Got worse & worse all week & now aching eyes & blocked ears. Can a tooth cause this. Or Have I had a bug which has weaked my immune system letting the tooth decay develop quickly.

Hate to give this clown publicity. Laws need to be changed, so idiots like this can't abuse the law & endanger other people.

Against facism, apart from faciest Russia

The bane of modern life. Even need one to run a bank account.

Please discuss, those lambs look poor.

Just found an old will from 1974 £4,000 mentioned was that a lot of money in 1974? what would it buy?

I was half a sleep this morning but on Farming Today they were saying how bad things were for small farmers. I don't agree. Of course someone who owns 50 acre of land with development potential is very different to someone renting 50 acres of land at a high rent. But if we say perhaps 100...

Not farming, but railways crop up on here quite often. The above film shows lots of history & the fields are in the back ground. I remember as a boy sleeping over at Grandma's house, counting the coal trains going to Manchester all night long. Its all ripped up now & a busy footpath, The...

Are Shell propane gas bottles still used? if not how do I dispose of my 6 bottles.

You have to wonder who is the 1st World country. Maybe in a few years time English born Asians will be going on boats to Pakistan

Is there a replacement for The Dark Sky Time machine, a website where you could access weather records for the last few years.

According to radio 4, due to lack of council funding farmers are routinly blocking rights of way at least 33,000 cases of this. Personally I'm finding the opposite that my walls, fences, gates & ditches are often vandalised & that tresspassing is endemic. Thankfully I'm in a posh area in some...

Can someone tell me the carbon foot print of a tree falling on an electric car? I'm quite pro tree planting. In straight lines in a managed woodland with good weed control & pruned to keep the trunk straight. But why is it such a battle to fell dangerous trees?

When do we find out what is new for 2024 regarding boundary grants?

What would you like from SFI for a late Xmas gift. I include CS because they will merge in time. My wish is an annual payment for a commitment to keep good drystone walls maintained. I've a feeling in my water that I'm going to be lucky. To be greedy (it is my thread) I'd like to see some...

The famous documentary is on BBC Four now

Remember going to the Yorkshire show in 1981, it must have been about peak rougth terrain forklift year, before telescopic handlers became more common. There was Bonser Salvev Sambron Sanderson Maintou IH MF Krammer had there loading shovels. They were advertised in all the farming magazines...
