Exactly this point. I put this to Nature Scotland and NFUS. My words were actually my hands are tied if I do nothing about the ravens I will be locked up for cruelty by letting them attack my stock but if I shoot them I will will be locked up for shooting a raven that's ripping my livestock to...

Well that's the problem you see with holding the rifle both my hands are being used so can't even count on my fingers. I do think licences need to be applied for tho just so they know how big an issue they are and I think it is all the extra woodland that's been planted is the cause of more and...

I need to know this as well. I have never had a raven problem before but this year for 5 days was hell lost over 20 lambs and had to shoot 3 ewes due to them ripping there lamb beds out as they lambed and dozens of ewes with peck damage to there faces and half a dozen eyes taken out. There...

I am still working with it. Does your tractor have a front PTO as well?? As mine does and if I switch it on while trying to get the back one on it normally starts the back one up as well.

Sounds like most companies now a days profit first customers second they don't seem to realize the customer is where the profit comes from

It is a website. I am lucky I have 4g covering the whole farm sow works everywhere for me. But in the very near future there is an app coming as well. I have seen a prototype of it and it will be accessible offline

Yes it does but does not use alot of data.

Give Neil a phone and he will show you how to get the best out of it.

You are probably right I should not need to do it every year but the fear of an orf break down is to big a risk to me and basically it is an insurance policy I am using the vaccine as.

Managed to get the screenshots That is all one cow.

Totally agree with you that they need to build up a resistance and that why we use the vaccine as it is a live vaccine so is building the resistance into the flock to protect them as well.

We have done the ewes pre lambing for years and have never scratched a lamb and have never had an issue with orf before. I have seen maybe a handful of lambs in all those years with orf but I have put them down to a ewe being missed or not done properly and when I say a handful I am talking...

I totally agree with this Neil. I wish we could go back to the days of people's word being there bond and personal relationships within a business setting and building trust with a specific person within businesses we work with and not being passed pillar to post and noone taking responsibility...

Farm matters every time great package and the back up is second to none. Been with them for a few years no and never looked back. I was with shearwell for years and got on well with it at the time but there refusal to move with the times and not update there software drove me away from them to...

That makes alot of sense. I was going to say do we really want to be breading extremely anti life sheep and giving them that chance by clothing them but the mule is a very hardy sheep so a coat may be worth the cost for the end product.

Yeah you had mentioned that. I bought two last year but neither made it to see a sheep this year. In there defence I did put them out for the last cycle that year as well tho which was maybe there down fall.

Ok time to put my Mr stupid hat on. What makes an inverdale?
