    Bare skin patches on cattle

    I'm helping out with some cattle and quite a few of them have some itchy looking bare patches around their shoulders and sides. Some don't seem bothered by them but a few have been scratching at them. What causes this? Is it some kind of mite or lice? How can it be treated considering the farm...

    There can be a different way...

    This video clip is an interview with a farmer that did things the old school way for 40 years before realising that there can be a different way to farm. It's definitely worth a watch and you can visit his farm and see how it has been made to work even in the wilds of NorthWest Scotland...

    Inspiration

    So I've been following Ridgedale Permaculture on YouTube for coming on a year now and this video out of all the hundreds sent shivers down my spine and made me want to share it! As a 31yr old without a penny to my name who desperately wants to start a holistic farming project in Scotland this...
