I may have chance of some 3/4 fresian bulls in the autumn at handy money and I was just wondering what everyone’s thoughts on this was.
Few things,
Should I castrate them
Straw shouldn’t be a problem
We have any amount of silage (some a red clover/ryegrass lay)
No arable land so feed would...
How are farmers [especially sole farmers] treated during the present Covid 19 crisis vis-a-vis TB testing? Do the testing team wear PPE to stop the transmission of Covid 19 disease to the farmer? Is the Farmer advised about or supplied with protective gear?
What would people say is best to feed ewes with lambs at foot just now as it’s cold here with the grass disappearing quickly. Good quality cake at £260/ton ish, or sprinkle fodder beet across the fields at about £22/ton. Thanks very much
Not sure if this has already been posted on here but have just received this Key Worker Form via email. It is to be filled in and shown to the police should you get stopped when out checking stock, getting feed etc.
Hope it attaches OK.

In this new normal we find ourselves in what next ?
Folk fighting over bags of spuds in local sales.
Mc Donald’s shuts there doors after tomorrow.
What will happen next ?
‘Nothing should be imported in to the UK that is not produced to our environmental and welfare standards’.
This has become a central tenet of the NFU’s representation of the industry.
But what does it mean ?
There are 1001 rules and regulations that affect UK primary food producers. With which...
Grew Bangor last year , big yield but but what we harvested is only just keeping ,with a lot of clamp management. I guess it's the low dry matter for both these things. What variety can people recommend for grazing November/December,and also lifting some , say In mid December, with a view to...
Having got an agreement with a local shoot - grazing kale that is used for game cover with in lamb ewes once shooting has finished- they are looking at an alternative after 3 years on the same ground with kale -
just wondered what thoughts people had on fodder beet?

Looking ahead a long way now...
Little 3 acre field, on its own, well fenced, water supply.

I’ve pretty much had a wagon in the yard every day last week for various things such as grain/straw collections etc.
The problem I have is that I sometimes struggle to be around the yard all day waiting due to other business commitments, and some hauliers struggle to even say if it will be...
:oops:
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...
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 . . .
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...
