Racing online on Gran Turismo 7 mostly at the moment and playing The Last Of Us multiplayer , sadly the sequel has just been cancelled

Well my Dad's spent a million on tractors and machinery so no issue there. Sheds are all falling down though :rolleyes:

Done a fair bit of that since I posted this, from our hedgelaying. Been busy with the milk vending machine, TB testing, foot trimming, moving ley sheep around, and general jobs. I do enjoy having an hour in the afternoon to do nothing sometimes.

That's a whole other story, which I'm not going in to on a thread again 🤦‍♂️ It's a very sticky situation with the old man

Me, my brother full time Dad still doing a bit 140 cows, youngstock, AYR housed in winter

Thanks for the none judgemental replies 😄 Without spending on a bigger cubicle shed, slurry storage and a bigger parlour and clamp there's no way to increase cows, feels a bit of a waste of time when there's nothing to do. We do our own foot trimming which is a go-to job aswell. What do...

I work on a family farm, probably not milking enough cows for the amount of staff we've got, but now the winters here It's a struggle to fill the days with work. Usually jobbed up by lunchtime then it's a few hours until pm milking. Probably start hedgelaying soon but thats barely worth it.

Sounds exactly like my situation.

Red Dead 2 is probably in my top 3 games, probably due to the rural setting 😅

The controllers are much better, and the resolution and graphics, just depends on how many games they bring out for it.

Treated myself to the PSVR2. Pretty amazing on Gran Turismo you feel like you're in the car

I have first hand experience of this.. Worked on the farm for no pay, no social life and not even in the business partnership let alone any land... He says the farm is his, yet we've all been working to pay a mortgage for 20 years.... Cant just walk away from my mother and brother

Did 10 years of bedding down by hand, i'd rather keep my back intact for a bit longer than maul straw around for hours

Hi We have a water heater for our milk processing room but we only need it every other day, what's more power efficient, switch it off for the off day, or leave it on?

We have a Matilda, works great

A normal brush

Pretty well thanks, we started with just milk but since we added Milkshakes, sales have gone up a lot. It's still early days and it's a lot of work but it's nice to finally get a fair price for at least a few litres!

I'm not going to go through it all again as I got abuse last time. They're mid 60s.

Precisely. This is my situation. We just work 7 days a week, no pay, no social life, no succession plan.
