    Would everyone read this please.

    Mods please delete this if anyone objects. I am asking in this section of the forum as your all stock men and take in what you see, if you see poorly/ill people. I have a 19 year old lad, who 2 or 3 years ago started to complain of feeling tired, at first I ignored him as a teenager trying to...

    Farmer's country showdown, BBC 1 @ 3.45pm today and on iPlayer afterwards.

    Looking forward to seeing my mate (I do have one) @borderterribles and @Supergirl this afternoon, a most genuine outfit if ever there was, hoping the tele does them justice.

    Dog to work suckler cows

    Is anyone looking for a dog suitable for suckler cows? We've got a very brave young blue merle bitch who's too rough for sheep and dairy cows and no good around poultry, so not suitable for us. Needs some work but a lovely little dog and it would be great to find the right job for her. Not...
