Its very mild to bring them in ,which brings its own problems. They look content enough and have plenty straw , molasses and mag buckets...
Bought a breeding ram at a sale last Saturday, looks like he’s got a urethral obstruction (calculi) not seen any hard feed since coming here just been on a little grass paddock, in my limited experience of this in fat lambs it’s never a good outcome.
Question is should he be covered by the...

I am now thinking of putting water in my MF 5450 because we recently bought a mower and it's way to heavy. But I have 2 questions, can I put water in only 1 tire so I can keep the cost down and also If I can just mix salt and water together so I don't have to buy antifreeze or calcium chloride 😀...
Can anybody advise on whether water softener tablets used in the Dairy industry would be suitable to soften the water to suit Ag Chemicals for spraying.

Get ready for the Pigouvian tax,
I've warned before about how fast the artificial meat business is developing. Most peole don't seem to have a clue as to how things are going to change (I'm just the messenger - don't shout at me.)

Milk Fever (Hypocalcaemia, Parturient Paresis)
The average annual incidence of milk fever in UK dairy herds is estimated to be approximately 7-8 per cent but individual farms may have a much higher prevalence when calving at pasture.
Milk fever is more common in older dairy cows but can also...
We have a field of wheat that is within 1.5 metres of a busy B road that has many passes from the gritting lorry every year. Last year I started to notice the crop beside the road ( about 8 metre width ) was struggling and this year it’s more pronounced. I did a few ph tests and they’ve all been...
I'm hoping someone can offer me some help, my fpd has been sailing close to the cut off for a while now but the last few collections it's been very low about 504 usually. This has only happened since3the cows have been grazing more grass (been turned into the silage fields) said fields are a...
Having seen decent results from Magnesium with fungicide applications here I'm pretty convinced that along with Manganese t's a micronutrient worth using routinely on our soil types. Bitersaltz has been our cheap go-to product but it's not the most users friendly when filling a 6000L sprayer...
