For sheep quad every time. Can’t see a Gator would be any better than me old Hilux on an agri plate. But I am in East Anglia so don’t see the weather some of you boys do. And it is flat here too.

I can only say that in my experience the police could not have been better, yes they checked I had a shotgun certificate but I would expect that. They asked me what I was going to do with the dog and I said it was not my property and the owner needed to collect it, they asked how much...

And in my experience rushes make really sh!t wine.:)

Went to see them, gave them my number, didn't give them a bottle of wine though!!! They were alright with me. They just have this reputation of being trouble makers. And I have a flu bug so everything seems hard work. I think I will get some tag numbers over the next couple of weeks, cull prices...

Just had an odd one and hopefully someone can shed light on our rights. I have a 150 ewes about three miles away that keeps getting cast. They are with the tups and will be moved onto brassicas next week when the tups come out. However the landowner has just called to say a vet who lives about...

Sorry mate they got sold on eBay back in the day.

Er. You certainly have too much attitude for that fella.

It was comment, intended to be smiled at (as indicated by the smiley face) that only on TFF can a thread move from a serious to a less serious point in less than a page of replies.

???

Only on TFF can a serious (and positive) post on 'sheep worrying outcome' move to being hijacked by the Sid James fan club in only 16 replies!:)

I would be perfectly happy buying lowland bred ewe lambs in late summer from anyone who doesn't want the hassle of turning them into shearlings, with the option to kill at any point the price of meat or cashflow dictates. I don't see that as hard work at all.

A dog trainer once told me you need all male runners otherwise things get complicated. They never expanded on that statement and I never asked! Just thought I would throw that out there.:)

I guess it depends what area you are in but muck for straw is of equal value here. But. All straw moving and muck clearing and spreading is down to the individual agreement, sometimes it is down to the cattle owner and sometimes the arable side. I would think with the way fertiliser prices have...

I think you have pretty much summed up British farming right there.

So which is the best option financially? Have someone eat it off and leave some poo then avoid the cost of ploughing and just disc it? Or run a 200hp tractor burning 20 litres of fuel an hour to top then plough? I'm a bit surprised that at the end of January you don't have a plan when you are...

Well I would keep them separate and sell them with their lambs or after weaning. But they wouldn't get to go around again. I have a closed flock in that I only buy in tups and I'm not in a sheep area so its easy. The same would apply if we were discussing Enzo. It is so much easier to keep sheep...

Treat and Cull. Treat and Cull.

But then the hedge just grows out and you have to do it again!

The two biggest problems with sugar beet land is modern machines smash the tops to nothing and if it before first wheat then it won't be available for long if the land can be worked. With turnips before maize or spuds there is no rush to get off.

Think you might be confusing turnips with sugar beet @JR27. We used to be told super beet were too hard for sheep teeth.
