    What brands of bulk tank are good and which should I stay away from?

    I just got fed up with being promised delivery and months later still not having a tank. To be fair they did issue the refund fairly soon.

    Likewise. We had to ask for the deposit back.

    We had ours recently. Took over four hours even though I had all the paperwork at hand. Didn't know about the portal either. Just go onto the red tractor website and print as many of the templates as you need and fill them out. Don't forget H+S and employee induction. Good luck

    Prostate cancer

    Exactly. This charity gives a lot of advice on the pros and cons of the PSA test, but at the moment there is no other option to screen for prostate cancer. There are over 2200 men alive today because of this charity's testing.

    Prostate cancer

    Just found this thread. My OH organises testing events throughout Devon and Cornwall for this non profit charity. We have tested over 10 000 men aged over 40 in the last two years and we find cancers at every single event. 99% of the time the men have no symptoms whatsoever. mypsatests.org.uk

    We have got a good fall from parlour to dirty water pit so a drain is easy to install. I didn't want to put it in the wrong place and regret it for ever.

    Thanks all, for your advice. I was hoping to out the drain down the middle so that I could concrete the pit in two halves . The whole job has taken a long time as I have made the shed and erected it myself. But it seems like we will get there soon when we dig the pit.

    I'm putting in a new (to us) 16/32 parlour. Digging the pit next week. I was thinking of putting a Aco type drain in the middle, the full length of the pit. Does this make sense or would people put a drain at one end?

    I used to go out on a Saturday night and spread my wild oats!... Then go to church on a Sunday morning and pray for a crop failure.

    We classify and don't tend to breed much to sell. I find you look at your cows through someone else's eyes and points you towards which cows to breed your heifers from. The right type of cow will last and perform well.

    Helth and safey policy for red tractor farm insurance.

    I printed one off the health and safety website put it on the wall and the red tractor inspector said " I see you have a policy but can't read it because I'm not health and saftey trained"

    Good looking set up. You can't beat the backup from the dealer. Keeping Zetors seems to run in the family.

    Have you tried limestone flour? We have fed it for the last 18 months and it seems to keep the bf up.
