    Red Tractor sector board passes leadership vote of no confidence

    Just put it down, out of it's misery, its has no use/ no function to fulfil/ it is a drain on the industry/ it's not compatible for imported products, it's a white elephant/ it has no positive role to play only a detrimental one as a powerbroker over producers.

    Shearlings Having Weak and Premature Lambs

    Well my two pennys worth, apart from, hard winter on stock etc, we now 'spot on' all lambs as soon as, never seen so many ticks on lambs last year in March, lost a couple, but deer everywhere, so something new that I never even considered before, certainly made the lambs ill.

    Outpourings from Ben Goldsmith recently

    A rifle will also address the problem and you get to eat some delicious stew, I am fully aware of what you say, and as our farm is little more than rough ground, have let nature take over/keep chunks of it, which gives me great pleasure, and there are areas where ( we may not like it) some...

    Outpourings from Ben Goldsmith recently

    Possibly a bit of both, he said in a diplomatic way! However it is difficult to always take the Goldsmiths' of the world seriously, they will never have to worry about buying a dodgy second hand tractor or if they can pay the electric bill on their council tower block flat, and they forget that...

    Outpourings from Ben Goldsmith recently

    Ironic in some ways that he should be complaining about the rise in deer numbers, isn't that a sign of wildlife recovery. Oh hang on the wrong sort of nature for what he wants, trashing his young trees presumably.

However there certainly are some ''Arthur Daley's out there, who take pleasure...

    Lambing 8 Week Weights without birth weights

    Well I gave up trying to record anything much in the commercials, as pretty meaningless, unless you go the whole hog, like we do with the peds, just keep the ''best twin lambs'' covers most bases, best productive dams, and if your into worm resistant lines you will be automatically selecting for...
