    Could cows be reaching over a garden hedge?

    We’ve lived in our cottage for 17 years and farmer with field next door has had cows in field and we’ve never had issues! A few years ago, some even got into our garden and I helped him move them out and repair fence. However farmer has retired and is now renting field out to someone with cows...

    Groundswell Weather

    Looking OK according to the BBC forecast this morning, not too hot and more importantly, dry for us campers! :-) Don't need the 4 season bag either! Did you get any of the rain that was bumbling around the South before the weekend, down there? Wellies or Trainers I wonder...;)

    Small caravan site dilemma

    Thinking of putting a small 5 pitch caravan site in, water no problem but the only thing I can't seem to find any straight forward info about is what do people do regarding toilet waste ? Any help would be great

    Electric use

    Ok guys, on our new farm we have a smart meter and I am struggling to believe it. It reckons we are using 120 to 140 kWh a day to milk 250 cows and cool 6000 litres a day of milk. We have a variable speed vacuum pump and heat exchangers. Seems a lot to me. how does that compare to you guys?

    Cost of Tree Safety Survey & Report

    Trying to value a quote for the above. Whole day of an expert on site assessing tree health in areas of public liability concern (near footpaths etc) and a fully documented report stating condition and management priorities. Any price guidelines appreciated. Thanks

    Campsite charging... Per pitch? Per person?

    Doing a pop up campsite on farm for the first time... Wondering how people charge, per tent? Per person? Extra for multiple vehicles? What do you think works best? Also interested on people's thoughts on dogs, risk of Neospora? Thanks, CB

    Are campsites open?

    I was spreading next to a caravan club site yesterday and it was fairly full of motorhomes and caravans. They looked to be having a lovely time all sat outside sunning themselves. Surely this isn't right?

    Lynx and wolves could return to England as rewilding task force set up by PM

    What’s the oldest breeding cow you have on your farm?

    I have a 16 year old blue X blue/Fresian cow, which doesn’t look her age and always throws a good calf but I’m in 2 minds to bull her again or not? She owes me nothing tbh. What’s the oldest cow you’ve had calf?

    Cattle and camping

    Hi TFF, Like a lot of us, looking at camping diversification this year. We can't grow much grass in summer so could take a field out of the dairy grazing platform. Here's the question... How long between taking the cattle off the field, and letting the campers in? Cheers, CB

    Single Market / Customs Union - A Tragic Loss

    As humans, we have an innate tendency to take what we have for granted. Very often, we don’t appreciate the true meaning or value of something, until it’s gone. Then sadly it can all too often be too late. Barely two weeks into the final Brexit trade deal, I dare say there are many, many...
