Does the 14 day advice apply both ways? Bits I've found say not to dose with Levamisole within 14 days after dipping. What about dosing 8-10 days before dipping? Got a mobile dipper booked for end of next week, lambs look like they could do with a dose and I've got enough Levamisole on the...

Got a Quicke Q56 loader on a 2013 MF 5470, came new together but I didn't drive much initially to know if it was ever any better than it is now. It seems gutless whether lifting or crowding, if you overload it, it just sits there doesn't even seem to take any weight at all off of the back...

Can anyone help with an error code on the front suspension of a 2013 MF 5470? Suspension seems to be working ok from what I can tell, but rather than the green light being solid when on it's flashing all the time. Either 9 then 3 or vice versa, doesn't seem much difference between the gaps.

Looking for suggestions for a new 1200 to 1400 gallon tanker to put a water trough on the back of and use as a bowser for cows. I know it won't be the cheapest way to do it but water pressure is shite here so being able to quickly draw out of a watercourse would be a huge advantage. A (very)...

Does injecting calves with glucose work as well as it does with lambs? Obviously need to up the dosage, and wasn't sure where to inject as different setup internally. Tried searching this morning but forum was down.

If selling a piece of machinery in an online auction and it hasn't reached its reserve, is there anything immoral about bidding it up to just short of the reserve? No intention of selling for less than that anyway.

Never had much chance to freeze colostrum before, but I've got a young ewe lost a pair this morning and she's both in love with them and got plenty of colostrum. No spares yet but got 2 sets of triplets look like they'll go over the weekend so was going to milk her out and see what happens...

I have a Gallagher fence tester which works well enough for what I need. Until today, the fence is shorting through the tester! Old energiser only runs at 3.5kV usually but no matter where I try to read the fence I get a pretty strong kick off it, even with two pairs of thick gloves. I...

Any time I go into Microsoft Outlook and try to either send or receive emails I get the following screen And clicking View Certificate gives Everything seems to work ok if I click yes to continue but it's annoying, especially if trying to send a quick email and hit send bit don't notice...

Ever since a really bad orf outbreak (40-50% affected) in weaned lambs maybe 12 years ago, we've used Scabivax Forte in all lambs when marking them. Never seemed to have an issue in ewes fortunately. Someone was helping a couple of days at the start this year and not sure if he was...

If taking our own equipment (calf/lamb creeps) to a market with our own tractor is it ok to use red diesel? Before anyone says jfdi I probably will but would prefer to be legit lol.

We have a passage of cantilever cubicles backing onto a silage pit. Because of the way it's done there's too much lunge room and every year we get 1 or 2 of our sucklers jammed between the rails and the wall and its a fair job dismantling a length to let then out. I'm sure I read somewhere on...

Our 2014 Ford Ranger has got indicator issues. Yesterday it started flashing really fast on a left turn so I assumed a bulb blown. All three are working when you look outside though. Also, while I was checking them the right hand side bulbs (which seems normal on dashboard) are making a very...

So, a couple of nights back something tried to get into our hen coop It's only pallet wood so can't think it would have stopped a fox or a mink. Have had a few rats about but chewed up to 18 inches off the ground and I'm pretty sure I'm getting on top of them with poison as well. Just found...

So, rightly or wrongly, I've bought (well on behalf of my boss) 195 Swale ewes to replace a portion of my NCC flock. Gathered up next to the loading banks at Kendal yesterday. Had a grand day down south, prices up about £20 on the year but managed to get some that I liked for for an average of...

Had a calf born yesterday to a 3 year old 2nd calver and she just won't let it suck. She didn't nurse a calf last year as it was born with a large umbilical hernia which we were unsuccessful at repairing. She seems to love this calf and it could suck her brisket all day but she won't let it...

I suspect the answer is "what weight is it? Scrap value" but is there any other value in a vintage bruiser? Still in situ, but think it will be at least 40 years since it was used. Haven't got a make or photos but can get some if it "might" be worth anything.

Can a lack of any particular mineral be responsible for cows not opening up properly? I have had to assist both a heifer and a calved heifer in the last 24 hours despite not getting the calving jack dirty last year. Both calves had quite a bit of fluid in their lungs so don't think I was...

Hoping someone can help. I have quite a few old quad front tyres lying about that hold air but ran out of grip. Had an idea to stick them on my snacker to increase the height and stop catching so many stones with the drum. However, i'm struggling to find any wide enough. Needs a 12" rim with...

Can anyone explain why there is so much debate about Manchester's tier status when the rest of the country has to accept the status/funding they are given? I'm not anti-Manchester in any way, and I don't totally agree with all the restrictions, but seems strange that one city's mayor seems to...
