How's everyone getting on keeping sheep and cattle outside. Pretty biblical round here. Thinking will have to house the multiples for a month to give us half a chance of getting through to spring.

I have a Rayburn 680K, Blue in colour that is in very good condition that I am taking out of a house. It easily heats and supplies a house with 3 bedrooms and is economical to cook on. Does it have any value? It is 20 years old but in very good condition and has been maintained by the main...

Curious to see where others have fixed feed for autumn 24-spring 25. we’ve not covered anything yet and suspect wheat can’t get any lower. Don’t want to have my pants pulled down
