    Where to advertise a job?

    Where would be the best place to advertise for a assistant shepherd? Other than on the job section of tff once I’m privileged enough to!

    Square bale trailer

    Has anyone made a self loading bale trailer for taking bales out with atv/utv? If I load my trailer with a jcb I can fit a whole bale in easy but if I load it by hand I can only get half-three quarters in, the loads fall out along the way because it’s piled up so high! Was thinking of making...

    Forage radish

    Has anyone any experience with forage radish? Trying some this year following some wheat. From what I’ve found it looks more like a parsnip. Just wondering how the sheep will get on getting it out the ground.

    Backing dogs

    Does anyone use them in mobile yards? Most videos online are in permanent yards, or there’s just a few sheep in a prattley as a demonstration. Just a bit wary how much it would all move about with a lot of sheep pushing. I can peg it down on grass but most of the time it’s set up on a hard...

    Insurance claim for working dog

    Had a disaster yesterday, my best catching dog had to be pts after breaking his back, falling off old quarry edge while catching a lamb that had got through the fence. Is there any way of making a claim on the farms insurance? Probably clutching at straws but thought it was worth asking.

    Clik not lasting!

    Anyone else's Clik not lasting like it should? Clean Lambs done middle of May getting struck for the last couple weeks. Mainly small maggots but still big enough to break the skin! Clik's had no effect on some as they're full size. Not just one group of lambs either. Very frustrating!
