I have a 10 year old 42ft x 15ft permastore slurry tank here that may soon be surplus to requirements. It is in excellent condition and comes with sluice gates, a paddle mixer and a jetter (with platform/gantry). Buyer to destruct and remove. What’s it worth?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello all, I am looking for some recommendations from TFF members who have buy or sell rams at the Lairg NCC sale over the years, as to who / where I could buy really good and correct maternal tups from. I have been to the sale a few times in the past and have bought rams from 2 flocks I...

Hello all, I am considering buying 2 new young bulls, they will be of the same breeding, from the same place, and have already been raised together. The plan will be to run them together with a mob of 50+ cows for 9 or 12 weeks every year, and then keep them together in a field or pen for the...

Hello all, I am making some horizontal railed sheep feed barriers out of old cubicle head rails, and I was wondering what size of space to make for the ewes to eat through? It’s for hill Cheviot ewes. I reckon I have the height of the boards for them to eat over correct, but unsure about how...

Can 1 fit, fertility tested bull successfully serve 50 cows in 3 months?

My old border collie Sam is starting to get a bit sore after exerting himself when working. He should really be retiring soon but unfortunately my 2 year old dog Bruce died last month so I have no option but to keep working Sam for a while yet. I should say that he is still very keen to work...

I am strongly considering buying a JCB 520-40 to replace our NH TL90a and JD 3036. It is the right size to fit in all of our sheds (520-50 is too big), and seems right for the job of feeding big bales, bedding, cleaning out and scraping up etc. What are people's opinions of them? Can they...

I am looking to lay a road down the side of a field. I'm considering a plastic mat or cow track style road, but I have absolutely no idea about them at all so I'm looking for advice of where to look. The road will not need to support a huge amount of weight during wet conditions, no more than a...

I have a lot of fencing to take down this year, and I find rolling up wire by hand highly tedious! I would also like to use some of the Barb / netting again somewhere else. Are there any machines out there that you can roll the wire up on to a tube or something to be stored again and then...

I have tried getting in touch with this guy a few times in the last month to no avail. https://www.iwanprice.co.uk/ Does anyone know if he is still in business?

Had a salesman past here a few weeks ago, and for some reason my dad bought enough thermovite plus to do all of our lambs and calves this spring. Not sure why as I can't say we have any problem that it might address, he is just an absolute sucker for a salesman! With good reason, we normally...

Bought a used JD Gator six months ago, isn't as fuel efficient as I thought it might be. It seems to run at very high revs the whole time, usually 2500-3000rpm when driving, even over 3500rpm when doing 25-30mph on a flat road. Is this normal?

Have usually aIways kept all of our sheep outside all year round on a grass only diet. But the amount of wet weather has been on a biblical scale here in the last decade, to the point that it is guaranteed to be drastically wet from 1st November until mid-April (obviously with a lot of other...

We own a shorthorn bull that, according the the BSH online database, was born polled. Both of his parents were also polled, and 3 out of the 4 grand sires / dams were polled. (As long as that's definitely what the (P) after their name and number means??) If I use this bull on cows that are at...

I've got a 28 acre field that I am planning on splitting in half with electric fencing this grazing season. It will take about 550m of fencing to split it. The fence will never be moved from when it is put up in May until it is taken down in October. Can anybody suggest a good reeling system for...

Test drove a diesel 2015 polaris ranger yesterday. It was in good condition with just 5400 miles on the clock, literally no wear and tear on it as it had mainly been used for on the road use and no load carrying/towing. BUT... All of the tyres had worn very unevenly, one of them had worn to a...

Which is best / or best suited to mixed use on a livestock farm? Mainly used as a run about but will travel on some pretty harsh terrain at times. Not a great deal of heavy load carrying to be done. Reliability and fuel efficiency is key. And have no niggly annoying faults! Please advise...

Considering selling my 52 plate Nissan Navara pick-up and replacing it with a JD gator. Reckon it could save me £100 a month between no tax, no mot, running on red diesel and by being more fuel efficient. It would also allow me to take a considerable shortcut between our two farms. Pick-up is no...
