Newspaper today reporting that Michael Gove is the favourite to replace Amber Rudd as home secretary.

Was told today that some summer grazing on grass parks had made £200 an acre, up 30 on last year. Surely this is stupid and makes farm rents look reasonable.

Had toothache over the Easter weekend, kept me awake at night. Managed to get an appointment today at dentists. Was expecting to get it taken out there and then but oh no have to go back on the bloody 4th of June. Could have had the job done in 10 mins. Is it normal to have to wait so long for...

Currently calving a batch of blue heifers and having problems with them. They start calving fine but then just don't seem to push. Had to pull 8 out of the last 9. Calves are small lims and come out easy. They are good mothers and calves are up and sucking quickly. Had pre calver tubs outside...

Got a calf with its tongue hanging out, saliva dribbling like a tap and also can't see properly. Got a suckler calf outside the same. Vet thinks its some sort of nerve damage. This one inside, bucket reared. Any ideas?

Currently have 30 blue suckler cows and 1 lim bull. Was thinking of adding another 10 heifers next spring. Would 40 be too many for 1 bull? He seems too have got them all incalf this year ok.

Just heard that a neighbour has been killed in a round baler accident while baling straw. Another reminder of how dangerous our industry is. Only be in his 40s with a family.
