Think you should cut it and bale it!That's a real good point .
Got 43 stores in a field by house . I've been sat on the patio with my cans of Thatchers generally watching them and idling on TFF as the OH is in London .
The cattle are just walking from one end of field to the other. They have an embarrassing abundance of grass but they are just not settled . I just don't know whyI just wish that if they not wanting to eat the grass then for goodness sake lie down and stop trampling it down !!!
They'll do better on fresh regrowth.

I had to sign for a bunch of Arla calves a while back to say I wasn’t going to kill them before 8 weeks I think it was. Wouldn’t bother me as I was on blue bulls but the same paperwork for the jersey x bull calves from the spring block calvers too. Not allowed to shoot them anymore on certain contracts. Not that I agree with the practise. If you’re breeding cattle with no value to sell on and the only viable way out is a bullet then as far as I’m concerned you’re part of the problem and want a good kicking (or I’ll send @livestock 1 around to give them a fat ear)

Like pens of dairy bulls shagging each other all day long. Best to fill the hoppers up, throw straw in and just walk away. I certainly don’t miss that side of things. The beefs hardly bother!
i dont think in wales that we are getting it early.....money running out ....50% SFP arriving end of July ......buying fever will be resumed

My neighbour says having an article in the paper is a poor business move. Too many of those outfits who have the all singing all dancing systems and have big write ups. When revisited 2 years later are either gone or have “restructured their business”

As long as you both accept that when the plods turn up to arrest the pair of you we don’t know you, never seen you before, and no we don’t know where that one lives officer…
edit… and no, we haven’t a clue what the other one is talking about either. We think he’s got beef with a bloke called Ken

Or along line of sweaty bull calves following a cow they have decided is bulling while their mothers stand and bellock for them.
