    Electric fence corner insulator

    For conventional steel or polywire, I cut a slot in the insulator to allow the wire to slip through. I undoubtedly weakens the insulator, but is fine. Not sure how good that would work with HT...?

    Red Tractor sector board passes leadership vote of no confidence

    I should qualify this really... "Pretty damned useless would be my summation", from the levy paying producer's perspective.

    Last ewe lambed tonight. yay! First timer so happy with a healthy Single that she loves... Out they go tomorrow, and clock starts ticking for vaccinating the lambs. Pondering 2 batches to jab early lambs, but such a PITA. Vet said with our few, count 4 weeks from the last lamb and jab the...

    Fert will be waiting for the warmth anyway. Glad you have got some on. (y) Get in and spray ASAP, or at least as soon as you have a couple of warm, growing days, so that the herbicide will be taken in properly. I have Ragwort on a paddock I have a few miles away, it's getting up, but needs to...

    Red Tractor sector board passes leadership vote of no confidence

    I become less impressed with Mr Jackson with every time his name appears, when he is dealing with RT and similiar issues that are even a tad contentious. Pretty damned useless would be my summation based on my personal interaction and what is reported.... Is is position actually tenable...

    Used Synulox successfully on cattle and ewes, but too expensive to keep about and dump 50%!! I'll have a course in syringes, like Draxxin!!

    Same here. treated her last night with Trymox LA and Metacam, and spoke with vet this evening and will change AB (Synulox) in the morning, and possibly a tube. One side is shot. so it's keeping her alive to cull... 3 week old lambs will be caded I suspect :( One last week responded well, but...

    Electric fence with sheep

    German (aka EU based) and our Orders are just too much hassle to get through "immigration" these days. :( A sad loss, I agree. Yet order some chinese shite off Alibaba or Temu, and it arrives in a a few days with no duty.... :unsure: Which is where Voss/electric-fence got their stock from....

    24 row Erth drill versus 32row direct drills

    Best DD grass establishment I have achieved, has been into a stubble in late August... Up to mid Sept OK, but any later can be problematic.

    24 row Erth drill versus 32row direct drills

    Starting to go that way again myself... From my experiments with establishing direct drilled leys, the secret seems to be a grass mix that will tiller properly! I have found the Herbal ley mixtures rarely tiller worth a damn, and leave too much open ground, even when x drilled. Broadcast has...

    I am up against Herself a bit, although I know where she is coming from... Got one old cade ewe, had 2-3 crops, but scanned empty this time and was saved from the cull trailer by your very argument... She will go onto the Solar farm and help educate the hooligans down there, as she will come...
