“Going out today” thought you’d meant you were turning some tups out! God I know it’s Sunday, but keep up

I think I'm getting slower and thicker as I get older.

 

[livestock 1]

sold for £165, think that's a fair price.

Yes that’s bang on I would say

Father always reckoned when I was a kid he would work hard until he was 40 then by then he would have plenty of money and retire

How did that work out for him?

How did that work out for him?

By the time he was 40 he had bought a fair bit of land was worth more but had more debt so had to work as hard or harder
He was dead by 63 in poor health by 60 and had made a good job of training me to do the same with added stress

 

[livestock 1]

Not sad really he loved doing it he wasn’t a fella that would have done it if he didn’t enjoy it

Sad that he only lasted 63. Both my grand fathers never saw retirement, was a air traffic control (stress killed him) and the other a shepherd and cow man (milking cows killed him).

Sounds familiar
He got mates with an army fella in hospital they were both on their way out they used to sit and say what they had done and it hadn’t done them any harm the army fella had been in the Gulf war x 2 and various other places quite funny listening to them

You wanna take it a bit easier if your on for dieing early, easier said than done I know, all too easy to blow up over things but living on the edge of an explosion will kill you off!!
Had a 40+kg lamb drown itself in the water tank this morning, that fair fûcked me off but better for him to be dead than me!!

Was it in a big cow trough?

It was actually, are you watching me
It has wire over it but he was so determined he put his head through an under

It wasn’t your lamb, I go round at night and dispose of of my dead on others fields. I lost 3 once in one of those troughs, they must have been stood on it and ice broke.

I’m not so bad now have my lad at home got rid of some of the running about
There’s a hell of a lot of difference between coming in at 6 or 8 most nights instead of 10.30 to 12.30 even though it’s only a few hours a day

I think 7 is the right time to finish work. Long enough day and sill get an evening to do something else.

Aye went on the lash yesterday afternoon, too feckin hot to be doing sheep work if you don’t need to

Sold off farm? at that price is great.Well done.

I’d love to actually nail them down to their definition of the term “sustainable”

Their definition will be what fits the agenda. Highly processed plant based slop full of chemicals to make it look a bit like a chicken nugget but with a few solar panels on the roof and some trees owned by rhe company a million miles away will be called sustainable.
Beef from a cow that has spent its entire life eating grass grown with rainwater and sunlight won't be sustainable because cows fart.
It's all complete rubbish and corrupt as f**k.

You're making me feel bad !!
I don't mind working late occasionally... but I make a point of 5pm being clocking off time.
And I'm a strong believer in at least 1 day off a week, so Sunday is my day of rest (got feck all to do with religion!!).

I will work late or on Sundays if something really needs done - or I'm bored useless.

I'm off today, waiting for J36 Texel sale to start - live streaming on FB. Probably should have drove down but then I'd have spent money and bought something

Yes I think we actually get more done now since we stopped the silly hours to some degree
Sounds daft but I think it’s true
