[Bald Rick]

Congratulations Rick, junior back in the saddle I hope now

Thanks, not that I had anything to do with it.
No, he is taking something called "paternity leave" whatever that is for a few days ..............

Actually he has made the odd appearance just to record the fact that he's still alive to the staff which is handy as we are having our final whole herd TB check test this week under "normal" regime so fingers crossed on Friday we can finally be free for the next 6 months or so until the next test

I had one last year. A joy to use although I should have specd polyurethane blades as the rubber wore out quite quickly.

Have you got a trailer to carry all that around?

For a block of ground we have without any power, to much like hard work moving them around

Darn young ens, never had it so good. Paternity leave indeed. When my first was born I was sheeting the pit an hour after the arrival

Leading the calves off the silage ground. Spring has been slow so no rush. Dyke backs got a good clean up.

How would you work grass into maize? Sod seems to be a arse? Been sprayed off then cut ,ploughed , rolled with boards and now powerharrowed? Is this good enough
