Had a few ewes now found flat out but with head tucked right round almost under itself. Eyes looking round the way it's twisted round. Last ewe died after couple days despite treatment. Just found another the same. What could this be?

Odd 1, last 3 days ewes been a nightmare for not wanting lambs. Be that inside or outside. Singles, twins, different breeds etc. Could it be the weather or something?

I've got about 7 acres that now about 6ft and in flower, it was too wet to graze all winter. Roots on a whole look good still, some gone rotten. Who this be ok to graze with some ewe lambs?

Had a couple born outside now with this. I get the head and legs out then it's near on stuck, all the belly area and nuts all swollen up. Everywhere else normal and been alive. Other lambs with a triplets and twin fine. Could this be shmallenberg?

Anyone see it. Was on a farm in devon. If anyone can put up a link. Was just on now just after 8am. I'll also see if I can find it.

4 days off due date. For the last week to 10days we've had at least 1 ewe a day abort. 1 premature looking and 1 dark colour with buttons or a small fetus. Had 3 sets today. A triplet with 2 small weedy live lambs 3rd 1 black dead fetus. Another twins not bad size and another just now bit...

Daughter wants to do this course, initially wanted to go down the vet route but bit of a change of direction. I forgot to ask at the open day but what age can they do the extra tickets? Can this be in yr 1? She wants to do, quadbike, chainsaw, telehandler, spraying etc. Be handy to have asap, I...

Due to being so wet we housed all fat lambs and there now all gone off cake probably got about 15 acres of very big roots for ewes left. They are due in a month and I've got lifeline buckets out for them, is there anything I need to be watching grazing this? I could vit drench them tomorrow...

I know a lot of contractors will supply and erect but what's the going rate for just putting it up per meter? My own tools and machines just customers materials?

Bit of a background. Last yr we didnt dose pre lambing. We then went on to loose a load of ewes with lambs at foot and it was unknown. Fec come back good. Pms inconclusive then we bit the bullet and dosed all the ewes with cydectin triclomox off our own backs and it pretty much stopped deaths in...

Anybody used these people? Getting totally fed up chasing people.

As I finish off hedging for customers I found myself getting really depressed looking at all this cs and sfi sh!t. Once fields I mowed and baled in some fallow weeds. Fields I fert spread the arable on either fallow stubble or bird seed. The whole lot looks unloved. Then onto hedges. Got most...

I can't figure how to put the video up or remember the exact details. Something like 1400 cattle and so many thousand sheep been stuck on a big ship for 25 days. I think they were from Australia heading to Middle East somewhere. Guess Israel? Don't think Australia want them back and they can't...

Just pulled in yard and this come up. Been working all day fine. Yet another sensor?

We had a wet winter and grazed some pretty sudden winter keep. I had a big issue loosing ewes last lambing that the vet was pretty hopeless with helping. Did get PMS done and nothing conclusive. After lambing about june I bit the bullet and dosed the lot with cydecrin triclomox and it cleared...

Daughter spotted 7 people and 3 dogs running loose in a field behind our house, all yapping and sheep in adjacent fields all huddled up and stressed. Bear in mind we have 1275 pregnant ewes on the farm but not in this field. Gates locked too no footpath. pee'd off I shot round there in gator...

Just parked it up. Didn't realise it was an issue until I drove home and it wouldn't turn off 4 wheel drive. Lives in a hedger, is it something I've pulled off underneath or simple as a brake light out.. I've tried on and off a few times and upon pressing button on command arm it turns back on...

What's the latest incarnation of this baler like. It's a 2023 model. Demo. Ok or best avoid? It's for mainly baling well wilted silage or hayledge for cattle. Maybe some hay but have big squares. Thanks

I'm helping someone measure all the fields. There is about 130 fields to measure hedges. I'll be the 1 cutting and managing what and how it's cut. We have decided incremental trimming probably suites best so a light trim every year leaving 4inches every yr. Some might go every other yr. 1. When...

Been toying with this for a while. Going to run it past accountant. If I swap a pickup for this could I claim back all the vat and tax same as if I bought a new pickup? I don't really need 2 pickups and ideally need to seat 6. For anyone who dont know what a kombi is, it's a transporter with...
