    Murray grader

    I've had a basic one for a few years - no teeth or hydraulic tilting. It's very well built and makes a great job. Saves me a fortune in road planeings as it redistribute the high spots to the low. Would def recommend it. .

    Only in farming would you think "I'll get a good night's sleep and have a look in the morning"........and then find it's a broken tibia. Hope it mends well and quickly. It's hellishly boring being laid up for any amount of time. Good luck.

    Anyone got a massey or Bobcat handler?

    I have a Bobcat that did the same thing. Spoke to the dealer and there are two settings - comfort and dynamic. Got them to change it to Dynamic and it has transformed it. Needs them to come down with the laptop to do it though.

    Has anybody got any experience of Oxbury Bank.

    I've used them for both personal and business. No issues at all and they are always friendly and helpful when you speak to them. Rates not too bad either.

    This is well worth a watch. Really you need Iodine with Phenol to dry the navel quickly. I went to a meeting with Ben Strugnell from Farm Post Mortems and was astonished that the long term issues on navel infection.

    Log cabin/annexe recommendations

    witch livestock app / software programs do you run ?

    I bought a refurbished Linx 1010 Windows Tablet on Ebay for £80 and it manages perfectly well. Cattle Console is brilliant for recording by the crush - weights, PD days, Pelvic measuring, medicines and notes. Saves a huge amount of time. Works well with EID too.
