As the title really. A friend asked permission to put them up on our place and we discovered twice as many roe as we thought we had including what would be a medal buck we had never seen, hedgehogs we never knew we had, pine martins and an otter visiting our pond (although it was only seen once...

As the title I need a book to advise me how to deal with a sheepdog pup. My last collie 15 years ago was a placid, eager to please natural. The new pup is highly affectionate but willful, stubborn, mischievous and a canine dynamo at 11 weeks. So I need a recommended book on how to train a highly...

If this has been done to death recently admin feel free to remove. I tried to order H.P+ from my vets and they have none in and no idea when they will. Harbro had 1 25 dose bottle and a single 250 dose. No idea when they will restock. Their last restock was 2x250 dose bottles and 2 x 25 dose...

I want to purchase a Milwaukee grinder but I'm on the fence regarding switch types. What are the pro's and cons of each? I'll be spending more time using it for surface prep' and grinding more than cutting if that makes a difference. I've already got a corded sliding switch grinder but I'm...

Yesterday's PMQT was a shameful, ignorant, bullying, shouting mess and a complete demonstration of the lack of respect for another human afforded by being shielded by the protection being 'in the house' affords. If an observer saw this disgusting behavior in a school they would believe that...

As title, 2020 tight round bale meadow/old P.P hay. Will it be trash/bedding now or would it feed something if I priced it right? A bumper crop this year means shed space is getting kind of critical. I'm not above dumping it among my new trees as shelter and environmental advancement if it...

My lambs are virtually standing still growth wise and looking dull in their coats. They have grass in front of them but it is parched and looking much paler than I'm accustomed to on my wee place. I was staggered to find Harbro tubs are up at 28-31 quid this year in the small quantities I buy...

As above, tempted. Grass beginning to lay down. It's dry underneath just now.

I had a call from my vet this morning saying they were unable to obtain Intervet PMSG for this years A.I season, however I was offered Stimovar. Just a wee heads up to get your plans and supplies in order lads and bonny lassies. I believe from a quick Google that Stimovar is also PMSG but with...

Basically how do I access the blades? If I can get to them I've all sorts of tools for sharpening but the book (or the one I've got anyway) doesn't give any indication of how to reach, remove or replace. I can see the crusty bandsaw looking blade beneath the final net roller but do I dismantle...

The baler as dropped in my shed for a tidy up and a new chain and tensioner tube (218 quid inc vat, 75 quid for the tube alone) has two hydraulic pipes, a D socket and a road light socket. It has the factory net wrap. Should there be an in-cab control box, if not how is is bale wrapping...

My friend has just bought an older Class 44s baler that the previous owner appears to have lube'd with old motor oil. He wants me to give it a bit of a service and a look over in exchange for the use of said baler. The inside of the side doors and all chains, gears etc are coated in a grease...

I'm planning on running a tup with my Beltex on 25th October after sponging. This late in the year will I need P.M.S.G. Last year at the same time I used 1.4ml and ended up with too many triplets hence I'm wondering if it is more trouble than it's worth?

Surely the whole concept of modern payments is to permit the base price of foods to remain low before countless middlemen put their margin on it? Quite simply how much would the price of food at farm gate have to rise in order to offset the contribution made by payments...

'if it is pasture reared, locally sourced British lamb with fewer miles we're all over it' Not only a brilliant play on words but a resoundingly positive advert that is part of their Back British' initiative. Good on them.

As much as a technophobe and as entrenched in my views as I am I appreciate that if this forum is to remain a significant part of my online fun it has to operate without undue hassle for it creators in order for the reward to justify the effort. If it has to change appearance/function then so...

To my eternal shame I have been off work at my day job for 7 weeks. Constant pain over the whole of my back, chest pains and shortness of breath with occasional pins and needles in my arms and legs. The doctor began with a diagnosis of costochondritis thinking it was viral but has now told me he...

Ewe with loads of milk lost a massive single. How long do I have for a wet foster before it becomes a restrained ewe situation?
