Signed. Historically stock were stunned with a poleaxe - blunt trauma to use farm assurance lingo. When my dad was growing up in the forties pigs were shot for home consumption. The captive bolt was invented in 1903, so a long history of stunning before slaughter. As a Christian I prefer not...

Controversy there now about having to shoot stock.

Contact the Young Farmers Clubs and see if they can circulate. Hopefully match you with a young person and somewhere you can have a good learning experience. https://www.nfyfc.org.uk/

NWF 78.43 500l ordered Friday and delivered today

Wet day jobs! I've realised that my wayleave payment for a pole and stay in the yard has stopped coming. The equipment was removed at NG's behest when they buried overhead cables that ran under a transmission line and replaced with a pad mounted transformer that serves me and another...

The lesson is that the Government is a pretty good customer - they pay - make whatever the system is work for you.

I adjoined 90 acres of set aside that in return for a light topping in the summer I was allowed to graze from Sept 1st to Jan 15th. Huge reduction in wintering costs and the start of my journey towards; stockpiling, outwintering and mob grazing.

Thinking about trying one if there's one not too far and not too dear please??

Get the book: PA YEOMANS Water for Every Farm, off the top of my head.

I bought a larger adjoining block of land in 2007 interest only. Perfect timing as it turned out with rising prices and low interest rates. The 'rent' has varied by £200/acre but will average less than rent and I benefit fron the uplift in value. Happy to refinance as inflation reduces the real...

Drove there and back with the tractor - rolled footpath of two tyre widths. Do it on a frost and it will set it back as well

Been thinking it's time I bought some raddle - end of November for last week of April here. Ewes on mud and straw to keep the weight off, forecast frost supposed to get them cycling?

I knew someone would spot that! Yes it would. I can pull the hooks up but they don’t snap back down into the locking position as they should when released. Lifting rods need some adjustment to work properly as well.

Can anyone tell me if I can get this mounting off without breaking anything else please? Do I need to take trim off from inside? Many thanks Nick

As above needs sorting out. Needs a new cable and an odd weld but won’t positively push itself into locking position. The two flat steels running through the centre are solid and appear to be as they should. Are they spring steel? Should they have tension on them and how is this achieved? Can’t...

Derbyshire to far?

how long?

If your on the fence, don't miss this opportunity to meet Jaime face to face. I learned more from him in a few hours yesterday than I have in a lifetime of experience and years of lectures, reading, meetings etc. etc!

Hi I've got one here. 4 bay 60 x 30 with 3 or 4 foot overhang. Dismantled and been stacked outside for some years. Roof may not be worth fitting again and steel best blasted and painted or galvanised. Offers invited as I've no plans to erect it. Thanks Nick 07816 749500
