Sprog One has bought and incubated a small batch of Quail that have been parked with us... :rolleyes: These are (apparently) larger birds than some strains and are kept for egg laying. About 4 weeks old now and growing like weeds. At the moment, they are still on chick crumbs, but there is now...

Been the course of discussion yesterday. If jabbing a ewe post lambing with more "extensive" assistance delving around inside, what routine do folks use? I tend to go one Alamycin LA , one jab of Metacam. Other guy said 3 AB jabs, 2-3 days apart. One Metcam.

With a supreme bout of optimism, I walked a couple of my grass fields today as I thought, foolishly as it turned out, that maybe I could travel with the baby compact tractor and the even smaller single rotor disc spreader. 100kg at a time. It really would be great to spin a bit of fert on to get...

Sent by my SiL down in deppest Herts. Read and boggle.... But got to be in the right location I suspect! ;)

I was planning on going to have 15 ewes and lambs for sale this time. Great plans hey...;) But will there be any buyers in a fortnight as the weather looks shite for another week or 3 still? Any prices about yet ....?

Having to keep a few too many ewes and lambs about at present, but plenty of fodder still and enough shelter, at present. On Haylage or good Hay with ad-lib molasses and ewe nuts. Not ideal, as Dr Green is aim ASAP, but how many grams for a 60kg ewe and 2-3 lambs? 2-300g/lamb/day?

For the past couple of years, I was using an Irish origin lamb milk powder, whose brand name escapes me*, made with ewes milk. Super product on the lambs, mixed well and no brown crap settling out in minutes like the Volac stuff. How Volac can be used in an ad-lib situation escapes me, when it...

I was walking one of my "herbal leys" yesterday, and it looks as if the herb constituent has given up the ghost, bar a bit of white clover. The wet winter with the heavy clay lying wet for weeks on end is not conducive to the ley's survival I find. The easier land has seen a better success long...

I have a load of 75mm box section steel, galvanised and then powder coated. I have a project in mind, but do not want to weld so as to preserve the protection. I am sure I have seen hollow steel inserts for giving 90 degree angles and also a 90 + 90 for a corner piece and upstand for creating...

I am well familar with the kit for attaching to domestic downspouts to divert water into a butt. Work well and very useful. I have a new barn with central downspouts either end off the 6" guttering, and would like to harvest the water for the stock through a pair of IBC's over winter. Has...

Love the concept. Lightweight, modest powered LGP "truck" https://orangeimports.co.uk/collections/hot-products/products/i-go-atv-farm-utility-quad-vehicle-200cc-tipper-truck-tractor-equestrian

My supply will not keep me going until end of lambing this time and my usual supplier (and competitor) only want 5t drops. Any recommendation for a company that will deliver smaller loads, say 2 IBC's worth, or will allow collection with IBC's? Am based North of Telford. I can get a couple of...

Sweet long legged Red cow, not longer have a bull on the place so surplus to requirements. DoB May 2017, so good for 3-4 more calves easy based on my experience of the breed. Last two calvings have been to a Hereford bull. Good Mum, placid and was apparently halter trained. Super little bag...

Looking around again for a home for a few Grand that has accumulated as I have maxed out the Marcus a/c. All the big boys are offering piffling sums of interest, so it has to be the new banks on the block. Wanting online only access and hope to achive 4-5% at todays rates, 3-4 accesses/annum...

I will risk the wrath of Mods and pose this question here as it's more likely someone might have a suggestion in this section. Son has a 2015 Jag XE Diesel, and has used it as a superb long distance car for the past 3 years moving around between Army bases and the like all over the UK. It now...

I had one of those moments earlier today, when someone asked (again) do we have free power from the PV site here. The answer, as ever, was no. But, rather dangerously, I started thinking on this more, as we are in the early stages of a PV and battery site. Again, I will believe it when I see...

Looking for any websites that allow searching for Rural properties with land across England. I have found UKLANDandFARMS.co.uk which seems pretty comprehensive. Any other sites that are recommended please?
