Eh up!
The idea of starting a thread about Holistic management has been on my mind for ages, if I am honest.
Lets start by me putting my cards on the table - I have NO formal training, NO books, and NO interest in starting big wars on which way is best.
I do, however, completely and...
Now is the time for British food and farming to be championed by the British people according to the NFU's newly-elected President Minette Batters.
In her first official speech delivered today (26 Feb), Ms Batters set out her bold and ambitious vision for British food and farming to an audience...
The NFU has successfully challenged Government’s plans to remove the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) support from crop drying and other drying processes, enabling farmers to continue to use most of these practices.
The NFU worked alongside FEC Energy and other trade associations to prevent the...
Mod Note: New thread created by moving some posts.
Haha - every second post on TFF seems to be about problems with townies, cyclists, dog walkers, trespassers etc etc
The further from all that the better I reckon
I couldn't cope with having non farming neighbours . . .
Ive been hearing a lot dismay and outrage even in the UK about Trump becoming the next president I think many people are missing the bigger picture, here we have one of the most successful businessmen in America with a serious drive to prove to people just how good he really is, a Wharton school...
I am unable to find a suitable drawbar type ball trailer coupling.
The short type need at least to fit a jaw 60mm thick.

we have had eBay scams and daft buys but what about the great deals or are they a fallacy

Spend the last 4 days emptying crap out of one of the lambing sheds, don't know why I save half of it:scratchhead:. Desided to bring 300 home and house um a month early, not due till end of Feb but ground that wet, no where dry to feed and could look better and I don't want them to lose flesh...
Funnily enough after reading in various discussions about cows being induced down under and 'silkies', we had our own yesterday. Tiny Simm x bull calf from a 4th calver, 36 days early, smaller than a labrador. Never had one this early and potentially viable. I know that the odds are against him...
Last week i upgraded my phone from a Nokia nearly as old as me to the cheapest smartphone on the market so now i have the TFF App and find myself taking photos of everything.
So i thought I'd start a dairy specific picture thread where people can post pics of cows, calves, bulls, parlours...
I'd like to start a thread on native breeds of farm livestock. We have had interest from various people and decided to collate a "stock photograph database". Sadly, the initiation came from a volunteer on a social media platform who got short shrift from various breed societies.
I'll start with...
thought i would start a thread for us all to show off our home made masterpieces and in many cases probably, bodges
here is one of mine to start
used to be used daily to transport feed to calves , now a good string and plastic carrier
