Carpet farming this Christmas - taking me back nearly 50 years

[JP1]

The value those Britains animals have had over the years

#justlikedad's Nice quality Dutch made cattle shed. Just need some of my original Britain's farm animals back from Mum and Dad's now as the new Chinese ones are not realistic in the slightest.

JP you joked about loler he will learn far more about loading lifting reversing stuff from when he is able to walk and play with those toys and then whenhe is driving the real stuff from an early age I suppose it's a life long apprentice ship , sadly a lot now will never get the chance , Willbert is now18 playing on the big stuff the other side of the world , and yes playing , cause I still do its not work or a job , for some it's your hobby / life , well it is here.

When he is older he can get into the more fragile models

#carpetfarming on a truly miserable wet day.

I was given my paper money.

I asked prices. Set my budgets. Took a view on what I wanted.

Several offers not accepted , now I am in heavy negotiations.
Each trade the money is banked safe on the hearth before the next negotiation.
Each animal loaded before next negotiation .
I seem to have paid more than I wanted and his swaps mean he’s got more of my money than I wanted to spend and the best stock still seems to be in his field !

He is!

Just like the Bank of England he's just been off to "print" some more money including £10,000 notes!

Now he's just called me back in as I didn't buy any bulls last time and he's just lifted the lid on the shed and revealed some red genetics I'd be a fool not to spend some of my budget on

Plenty of soft soap and welcome he asked how you spell welcome and I now have a reserved seat with a welcome note !!

The boy should go far lol

 

[Cab-over Pete]

I see he has the combine out ready.

He’s an optimist, I’ll give him that!!

I would advise him to get it polished up and for sale!

Those paddocks don’t look too green. Might need a pH test.

After two full-on days helping Dad with the sheep, time for Freddie for some carpet farming. So much detail

Couldn't understand what the warm fousty smell was in the house. Turns out son has taken his first cut and it was fermenting nicely. Had to take it out as it was starting to peel the wall paint. And I'm not keen on the fumes from warming lawn mowings.
Reckon his pit is fuller than mine will be this year.
