Mating mixed mobs of ewe lambs and flock age ewes always seems to knock the % on the ewe lambs. They just don’t end up getting entertained by the tup.

Just a few things - bandb pigs are never going to be a go there, no chance. re dairy heifers, there aren’t many dairy’s anywhere near, and I don’t want to be shipping cattle in from other areas, and to be honest it’s not dairy cow ground. I’ve got sheep, and they will be lambing there and...

Cattle. Basically, some sort of bovine. They’d like native sucklers I expect. But they also want it to work for me

No issue with the comment.

Got to have cows there.

Land is in north Essex: Some great help and advice so far chaps, thank you very much. I like the idea of having some trading stick wirh a quick ish turn around and maybe a few native sucklers to give me an interest.

That’s a very good question? I’m not familiar with local markets, we usually finish everything and send dead weight or if selling store send north to Rugby. Got half an idea a bit of box beef would be good ? Maybe not as a main thing, just a side hussle.

Be curious to see what the panel comes up with. Need to come up with a cattle system that fits this - Large block of extensive but half decent sea level grazing, decent shed, handling systems (2), 4 year TB testing area. To be run alongside sheep (about 1000 of the things). About 150 acres of...

Pretty much entirely sheep related, although with some cows thrown in 😉

Not what it was cracked up to be alas.

On the coast! Seems very lovely

Looks like I’ll be spending a fit bit of time in the North of Essex this year and onwards. Be good to know a few folk knocking about the area.

Prattley sorted in lincs. Nut surely there must be more than one Essex person on here ?

Oh now they are c**ts 😂 lived in Scotland for five years.

Aye I’m sure. I’ve killed quite a lot of them, including some very good bucks. They tusks are sharp and they can do some damage. Seen a few very nasty chunks taken out of dogs and had my welly slashed by one. But to be honest they aren’t massive and if you’ve got half a brain you can mostly...
