All it does is hold the balls while you put a ring on.

I've seen some plastic credit card sized castration aid thing advertised on Facebook, absolute pointless thing, if you can get both balls down long enough to pop one of them on you've more than enough time to get a rubber ring on!

That's what's on mine, apparently just press the ok button, not had chance to try it yet though.

I'll take a photo of it when I get chance, not one of those, might be positioned somewhere else on yours. Is it a dyna4?

I've just had instruction on a 5711, when you step out of the seat on that it gives you 3 seconds to press an "ok" button just under the steering wheel on the dash so it will keep running when you leave seat, miss the 3 second window and it'll cut out.

Seems to be problem solved, put ratchet straps on both sides so there's a 2 foot gap in on the middle to load silage in the feeders, hardly any waste,a huge improvement on what was going on before. Only a day of having them there so far so fingers crossed it continues.

I've heard that land will hold what it can lamb wise, I tried upping numbers a lot of years ago and the percentage dropped so more sheep for the same number of lambs, I'm working on dropping numbers a bit more but this year I failed completely and had more than last year, I'll get there one day...

Just scanned today. Exactly the same as last year on percentage really, only more mules to lamb than last year . Mules top, crossed swales middle and pure swales at the bottom.

Also, I downloaded the app fieldmargin (free version) so I could add him to it so I know when I tell him a field name he knows where I'm on about, I can also tag him in jobs by GPS for where he needs to be rather than having to explain exactly where to go when he doesn't recognise the landscape...

I took on someone similar myself in summer, my questions were how flexible can you be for the two days you work and can you do the odd weekend when required. Took him on from there with the thought that I would see how he is. So far been a reasonable success, keen to work, doesn't mind inclement...

Have chance of buying a 700, would people with one recommend it? Is it better than a diesel UTV of some description?

I bought some heated ski gloves from Amazon. In the snow I had to take them off as my hands were getting too warm!

Lancaster today, the bottom was out of a jersey so would never be huge. Happy enough.

Round bale chopped silage so I don't think it can be chopped any shorter. It doesn't look too bad but the muck is mostly tramped in silage. Cows would just chew a tarp over the top, have tried a ratchet strap on one side but I didn't think it made any significant difference. I do wonder if a...

Anyone have any ideas to stop silage waste with feeders like this? I think part of it is flicking their heads up and throwing it over their back and some backing out and dropping it. Would a scaffold bar higher up solve a lot of the throwing it over their backs? Anyone devised something for...

Supposedly to make sure the bad years aren't after a good one so when you need the payments you don't get enough, but yes, there are plenty on that gravy train!

I'm on universal credit, it's a ball ache having to do the accounts monthly, they do take into account the bad months when you have a good month (I can have months in minus figures then one or two with thousands in). If there was an option that I could do it annually it would make far more sense.

I've a trained one to sell, 3 years old, reasonable price, only to sell due to family illness. Very friendly, good around children, a useful dog that'll get better with more work.

I've only ever given one footvax, my vet advised they didn't need two. Had a great improvement in feet from just one as well, and saved a fortune!

North lancs on the edge of the trough of bowland (can't be far from @Bowland Bob ) 2023 1564mm 2022 1311mm 2021 1503mm 2020 1912mm So I think this year has been pretty much bang on average rainfall here.
