Last few years iv had a few ewes that occasionally went through the electric fence in my paddocks. They were sold once chance arrived. Last summer more started to do it at tail end summer and tried best to get it put out of them. Jump forward to This spring and I have 1 batch off 20 ewes that...

Please can anyone share their experience of grass staggers with me? I have just lost my 6th animal (cattle) in the last few weeks. The youngest was only 6 months old and the oldest around 10 years. Some with a calf at foot, others not. My vet has indicated grass staggers yet both a blood test...

A picture thread of AgOpenGPS (AOG) installations and in field work, to hopefully encourage others as to what's possible. I know on TFF we have AOG users who are steering as manual lightbar, foam wheel motor, 3D printed cogs, 'Baraki' hydraulic valve, OEM hydraulic valves and over CanBus! So...

I’ve got a kuhn 30.2q and all the time im spreading one side empties before the other side, is there a way of calibrating it?

Not sure if we have a Bee thread, please move if so. We sell a bit of honey every year so I suppose it counts as livestock! My latest strategy to get more honey is to stop the bloody martins from perching in literally droves on the telegraph wires, sailing about and chowing through my bees as...

What can I say , I’ve probably ruined the shite lambing thread , with my rambling on about what to do etc so inspired by @Aspiring Peasants I thought yes that’s a good idea , a thread to share your aches and pains, your trials and hopefully your wins. As we get older things can become more...

Anyone know the price of front weights today? I'm thinking about used weights. There was a time when it was £1/kg or thereabouts but I'm guessing things have changed.

As above assume no equity to trade in of any significance. About 10k miles a year useage won’t bother going into brand preference as there all roughly the same price wen matching spec up.

I have had my sheep and lambs out for a couple of weeks now and have noticed my pedigree Suffolk lambs have started to get a few white hairs on the top of their heads and on some of their feet as well. Does anyone know if this is a deficiency in minerals? Or what this could be? Thanks.

How effective is Crovect for lambs with tics? Thanks.

Aye - up, We have a ewe (daughters hand reared pet, so don’t suggest culling!) which has had a little foot problem for months. She holds it up when standing, but isn’t lame at any time. It started months ago with a small hole in the soft, bottom pad of her foot. There was no infection or...

We have moved in to an old pig farm and the previous owners had made these clever crates out of ply wood with sliding hatches for piglets. They are reinforced with metal corners and edges, have a hole for a heatlamp in the top and are open at the bottom. Sorry it is hard to describe them but...

@Clive has posted about a farm he visited in the US Even with full automation , I would imagine there would be a constant stream of service engineers and breakdown call outs 24/7. Can 1 man physically look after 300 cows and calves alone?

Any dog in a public place should be on a lead by law https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYQsg48H/ The owner of that dog should be banned from keeping them for life. Too many children and people are being attacked by uncontrollable dogs.
