Looking at either a wrag basic xl or protech p230s. Both with 300kg weights and rock spikes, and pretty much identical in spec. But wrag is over a grand more than protech. What's people's thoughts. Apparently wrag is better built and the wrag supporter I've spoken too says that the protechs have...

Can anyone give any advice on 1 straining High tensile stock fencing. We have always used mild steel up until now and pulled from one end to other with a handler or tractor. I have finally decided to give HT a go, and have been off and purchased 2 sets of boundary clamps and chain pullers from...

We have got 3000m of FG2 (sheep net fencing) to do under the capital grants scheme. It specifies that you need to use 1.8m long stakes and 2.15m long straining posts. We would normally use 1.65m (5ft 6in) stakes and 2.1m (7ft) long strainers. I'm thinking of going for the 6ft stakes, but very...

Anyone got any recommendations for farm software packages? Don't want to spend a fortune as only got 250 sheep, 20 sucklers and fatten around 200 bought in store cattle, but would be nice to have something ideally mobile phone compatible that could input medicine usage, movements etc as I do it...

We are probably going to try and crimp our spring barley this year. Normally use it dry and rolled, but a. I hate the dust involved and b. We struggle to store it properly if it's a catchy year as we haven't got any blowers etc. Anyway was wondering what products you guys would recommend...

I'm sure some of you sheep experts can help with this one, as I certainly am not!! Got a ew lamb that is looking bit rough. Looked a bit off colour for last couple of days, but this morning she has ears down, and is frothing at mouth and panting more than she should be in this heat. If it was a...

Thinking of changing our 12foot ifor williams livestock box as it's getting pretty tired. Any suggestions on what I should go for as a replacement? Mainly moving cattle, but handy to have decks as keeping a few sheep again now!! ? Don't think a 14 foot tri axle would be worth the extra expense...

Hi. Recently bought a few hampshire ewe lambs to start my own flock. Have bought some Clik to put on them, but suddenly realised you can't shear them for 3 months. Was going to shear them July sort of time. Is the end of August too late? And I'm guessing it's too soon to shear them now, as they...

Dont know if this should be in a different forum, but does anyone have any good recommendations on second hand mixer wagons to feed 200+ beef cattle. Tub mixer or Keenan style? Any good places to buy them? Don't want to spend a fortune but don't want real cheap thing that'll break down every...

anyone had any experience using a slewtic shear grab? Thinking of buying a 5' one for £1800 which seems to be cheaper than most other makes. Only thing is it has got small teeth on it, which I'm not used too, and not sure of any pro's or con's.

Anyone out there finishing continental/ beef cross bulls on intensive system. We have an AFU and are currently buying b&w bull calves to finish mainly as veals, with the rest as barley bulls. Was considering trying some beef crosses as bulls as was thinking there is hopefully a better margin in...

Anyone got any good/bad recommendations on cattle crushes for beef cattle? Mainly for weighing, worming and tb testing different size cattle and occasional clipping of fat cattle. May even consider a squeeze crush if there are any that don't cost a fortune!

anyone used or using a Lucas castor straw blower to mix and feed silage, maize and straw? We normally put it around with shear grab but can't get an even distribution in front of the cattle. And can't really a a mi wagon at present.
