I do fully understand what you're saying and I do still ask myself if it will be worth it in the end or not but I just see it as a stepping stone to something else we've got 40 head of cattle aswell now. 20 sucklers which are calving at the moment and until it burnt out we had a massey 4x3 baler...
Yeah I understand that but it's all in concrete pannles and drinkers and feeders, all things that can be moved to another site or sold on. Obviously my overall intention is to put sheds up ourselves if we can find some land or a yard for sale. In the meantime just keep saving what we can.
1. That's my point? That's what I'm able to do again now, I know I'm young but I'm not able to get a 4x3 bale to the back of a 60ft pen?
2. I don't know yet
3. I hope not but odd days here and there can't be helped?
4. Well not really but we had to plough £50k plus into expanding, that's...
If it was a large farm with a turnover of £2m and probably a bigger profit margin than us would you be questioning their need to finance a £100k tractor just to put it into perspective for you
Sorry for lack of detail, Just wanted some straight opinions from the question at hand. How much detail do you need? I'm 26, my partner is 24 got an 18 month old little girl. Rent 3 yards off large local arable farms and have 6000 pigs on rearing and finishing for a large company based in...
Thank you to all the people who have come back with helpful advice but don't know why I bother putting anything on here anymore most are just out to judge and although it's got absolutely nothing to do with them they seem to thing they know what is better for my business than I do. There's...
Didn't buy wrong I did what I had to while my partner was out of action as its just me and her on the job she's back now so no longer need said piece of machinery.
We bought a piece of ex-demo machinery 12 months ago off a dealer we do a fair bit of business with and after realising we aren't getting the use out of it we thought we would and looking to put funds elsewhere in the business now so I asked our rep if they'd want to buy it back at what ever he...
Wouldn't look at anything other than a bobcat, they know how to make a skidsteer. Do you want it to be legally towable behind a 4x4 and do you need high lift boom? If not then don't get it, lot less moving parts. Only down side Is good 2nd hand ones are like hens teeth we've had an s160 and 2...
I think the Defra staff do very well and have amazing stamina to be able to keep going to work every day knowing no one would be any worse off if their jobs disappeared over night, I feel compelled to go to work 365 days a year because livestock rely on me but I can see why it must be fairly...
We're reading again tomorrow in lincs. Been on 6 monthly for the last 18months now and it looks set to continue. Testing incalf cows and heifers and stores in the backend and cows, new born calves and stores in the spring. Can only be described as a massive welfare crisis for man and beast all...
