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...

How do you decide when a stock bull has had his time? Do you go on age, condition, mobility?

I've a tractor that is very touchy about starting in damp weather, if dry it fires up first time every time, soon as it is a bit damp it won't even turn the engine over and just clicks, I've taken the battery out and wire brushed all the connections, put grease on them and both appeared to help...

I have a shearwell psion as above, thinking of selling it, what is it worth??

Charolais calves going to Skipton store/suckler sale tomorrow.

Are they good in general or are the batteries always dead when you need them for the odd dirty arse so you end up using hand shears anyway?? Also, Wynnstay are selling one with three batteries, anyone got one and are they any good compared to the ones from horners?

I've been made aware that Extinction Rebellion are organising a "mass trespass" on Saturday from 12-2pm on one of my fields (it is advertised on Facebook with a picture of my field gate and the nearby car park for reference). What would everyone do? I've spoken to the police on 101 for advice...

I'm currently using a Muck grab to feed my sucklers round bales into a feed passage with my skid steer, I put half a bale in each feeder so they don't waste it otherwise it is too full and they drag it out. Most bales rip themselves in half when I pick them up but the bales off the top of the...

Possibly not the correct forum but, I'm after getting a ptz cameras in my calving pens in the cow building, it is about 40-50 metres from the farmhouse but the actual calving pens are at the far side another 20 metres or so inside the steel framed building. Has anyone any advice on what...

Last 2 days had 2 good strong 3 to 4 week old lambs in different fields acting drunk, they can walk and do fairly well but they are a bit uncoordinated with it. Jabbed both with betamox, any ideas what it could be?

I'm looking at getting a post knocker, has anyone got one of the "compact" tractor post knocker? Are they up to the job of getting a six inch strainer in the ground? The one I've seen has a 160kg weight on it. Have a small amount of fencing so dont want to spend a fortune on one and I'm hoping...

Was told this morning by the very there are problems getting hold if it, went to wynstay to get ours for dehorning when we start calving and sure enough, down to the last 4 bottles of it. If anyone wants any get some if you can!

I was mucking out last week and the pin that connects the headstock to the loader broke, I tried calling Evan's and Reid for the part but they don't do it, any recommendations for a company that does the parts for them?
