Is that Mathry on the hill, if not which part of Pembs are you in?
Edit, if it is Mathry, your in Raymondshire!

If I look the other way I could probably see you

son has just had a good deal, of e'bay, 15 10 x4x2 water troughs, £66 pounds each, + £200 delivery, that will make up for a drop in butterfat !
That sale at exeter monday, was a bit scary, was told the best cows would be nudging £3,000, by the autumn, didn't believe that, when told back, a while, now think they might be close to that.
Barren cow price seems to keep creeping up, as well, trouble is, as what we sell, rises, so do all our imputs, if there is a crash, there are going to be causalities in the ag supply industry.

Not happy with the heat, but do love the late evening sun.
Up in my happy place with the Drys, and heifers.
