Why is it hand written? Last time we accepted a hand written receipt they robbed us in kg , it was the last cattle they took .

With no kill sheet.

if your where I think you are then one of those farms would be due to how wet the farm is thus breeding a cow that is higher input meaning they tend to be housed. Still surprising though

I was surprised too when I thought about it. Most have at least some cows out in the day. And yes I do have some pretty high yielding neighbours!

Anyone know what you call those little cuff things you put over ankle boots, to stop chaff going down them?

Crikey, that's more estrotects in one photo than @jimmer gets through in an entire season!

I wouldn't have had you pegged as liking Garibaldi red!

Cracking play off tie that, you deserved to go through for how played first half on Saturday alone!

First game at the city ground I was 10/11 years old , then a season ticket holder mid too late 80s
Had a trial there early mid 80 s but football was a weekend hobby rather a career , much to the dismay of my PE teacher at school who says I could have played at the very top level

"Hauliers come agents."

Payment comes from an agent, we take them to his yard and he sends 40 cattle a week to the meat plant. Normally we sell through the market but closed at the moment (reading test on Thursday).

If you send anymore, you should ring the plant and ask for the animals weight and grade and see what comes , they might be honest enough. I’m just speaking from experience unfortunately.

I suppose the agent always runs the risk of someone doing that. If we get clear test tomorrow it'll be back to the market, only 10 minutes away from ballymena and cheque home with you

We have guys haven’t used in a while filled a double deck around the country we’re also agents but always paid direct from the plant .

 

[Happy at it]

Sent 3 cows to the plant last week, top 2 were straight off the robot giving 10/12l, bottom one turned out not in calf. All holsteins. Ground getting wet, cows starting to tramp, fertiliser over £700/ton, meal £400/ton, might be time to offload a few more and regroup in the autumn.

Cheers for putting that up, they did well. Must admit I looked at the 3wheelers and fidgety ones in a different light this morning. .

The 3 of them would buy me 2 good calved heifers if I wanted to, don't see the point keeping scrap this year. I have a tendency to let a few cows freewheel every summer, not this year.

Forest were miles ahead of any team I saw visit Swansea this season. Word of warning though, if Huddersfield nullify Spence and Johnson then things could get interesting.

Genus own one. All genus, so if anything doesn't talk to anything, I've only 1 phone call.
