britians agriculture went wrong after the war years, when bigger and bigger farms i think we followed the american model in not only agriculture but in the whole way of living, maybe thats the reason of the currant obesitity ? like america? i think the european model far from perfect was a better way, its getting quite rediculious around here with one farmer farming what were many small family farms how much bigger is big enough? Law should have been in place many years ago to stop farms when they are sold to be lotted , i. e. farmhouse and 20 acres sold to a livestyle buyers and the rest of the acrerage to the big farm to get even bigger?

They must of got plenty of money up around there, how big were the calves 400kg?!
Wouldn't be 400kg, bullocks would be 330 -350 hfrs bit less. Well grown but yolks looked serious trade for what they were. Cows made up for his sheep trade . Sadly his ewes made not much more than killing trade. Big business man bought the farm and contracting it out. Lot of that happening up here now, business taking advantage of the tax situation while it still there
