I know it’s been done before but not for a whole so I thought I’d reopen the old arguement! What mobile pens would everyone go for out the 3 posted? Any pointers?

What pumps are people using to empty their dippers? I currently use the standard farm 2” lift pump but always end up having to go into the dipper to bucket out the last 4-5 inches. As time goes on you start to get a bit more conscious of the health implications! Just wondering what everyone else...

We have an old silage pit that we no longer use. The floor and concrete panel walls are still good but are no longer strong enough fur modern loading shovels! I’d really like to roof it to turn into a shed. Does anyone know of any companies that make custom sized/adjustable polytunnels for...

Quick question! Can I move sheep back onto my holding then put pigs straight to the abattoir within 13 days of them coming back on as they are going fat? Or does the 13 day standstill still apply?

A batch of ewes I have away from my base recently went down with scab. (Don’t we just love neighbours) it’s not a problem I’ve had before so all ewes were dipped and moved into a fresh bit so should be clean pre-lambing. My problem is I have to move them back onto the fields they had scab in for...

Struggling to decide between the smaller Razor type handpiece with the battery built in and yet Rambo set up with the bigger battery on a belt. Will be used for crutching in the Combi clamp, out in the field for victims of flystrike and a few ewes if I can’t be bothered setting up the proper...

We have a concrete sheep dipper that’s sprung an odd leak. The cement fibre has obviously gone thin with years of sitting full of water. Ive patched it up but I’m thinking of giving it a paint/coating of some sort just to prolong its life. Has anyone done this/reccomend any product? I was...

I’m wondering if someone can help! I’ve recently bought a Netum Bluetooth printer as I see several people on here have. I’m just wondering how I go about linking the printer with the stock recorder? Can anyone talk me through the steps?

Our farm has an atcost shed that was put up under a grant scheme away back in tbe 70s/80s when hill farms were encouraged to finish more lambs inside. I still have all the walk through feeders, some gates with weldmesh and some just with bars (all 1 inch square box construction) and brackets on...

Looking at replacing my Milwaukee compact impact wrench with a high torque one as it’s not man enough for a lot of the jobs i need it for. Swithering between the 1/2 and the 3/4 model pros and cons of both?

I have two silage fields I didn’t roll with the rest as a result of being sprayed with Thistlex. Typically the weather conditions since then have been good and the grass has shot off. Will it knacker/stunt my silage to roll it now?

Does anyone use one of these? I see you can get them up to 25’ thought it might be handy for steep/wet/rough bits mostly using mcpa. Just wondered if they worked well or do they not carry enough liquid for that amount of coverage?

Can anyone help me with the settings for an Amazone fert Spreader with YaraMila Stockbooster S. I know it’s 25-5-5 but its not on my Amazone app or in the data book. Spreading 225kg Ha at 8kph

Has anyone here tried a limmy bull onto Luing cows? Just a cross I’ve never really seen? Colours would be good and have a more valuable calf and can’t see too many downsides or is it just the Sim/luing is tried and tested so fowk stick with it?

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement bit like this for the bottom of my feed bin? I don’t know the make of it if anyone has something similar Let me know!

Does anyone know if all the Kaiwaka range is getting manufactured in Taiwan now? My older stuff is top notch and the label says made in NZ and I have 2 sets of newer leggings that are newer and the lining has failed and split on both pairs but the label says made in Taiwan. The older stuff is...

We have had a relatively high number of ewes not opening up this year or certainly more than usual! Would this be down to a deficiency? All of them were multi-Vit drenched pre lambing as usual.
