For use with rappa or hand reels?

If for rappa, then rappa posts are best. Everything else doesn't unclip as well. If for use with hand reels/semi permanent fencing then

And I think the above process will generate enough wealth to buy land

Oh dear I seem to be halfway down that list and aiming to finish in the same place as you

These square topped 1s or the economy post? Very rarely snap these, 1 a year if I’m having a bad year those new economy 1s they brought out are junk though, I sent a heap back without opening them

How many staff dose it take to look after 6500 sows ?

Those ones are the business. RFS sent me 100 of the new economy ones a couple of years ago. Probably only got 75 left. I count it as a good thing when one breaks now as it’s one less of the bloody things. They are just shite.

Yeh it was 2 or 3 years ago I picked up 200 from RFS, 90p each their abouts, junk! The 1 in my pic used to be called the economy but now it’s the next 1 up, about £1.20 last time I bought off pasturetec. Flimsy shite posts aren’t worth the hassle

Like a beach

Had one with no ears, one 18kg, one that must have broken his front leg at some point and over compensated with the rear because it was twice the size and a stiff jointed lamb. Got 3 stores and 2 very smalls that will run with ewe lambs. Not bad for 2560 lambs born.

Where have they gone? They sound right up the street of an expert finisher.

Wife’s father did it when she was 21

My wife’s mother done it when she was 24 and her father went to walk the dog one night when she was 8-9 and never come home (pr*ck) but she married me so obviously doesn’t mind a life full of misery

Won’t work. They’re just more likely to go to sleep in the truck now

Our mum did it. I'm not offended by anyone's comments on here.

I struggle with it. But find reasons not to.

Uncle did it!!

Last day of grazing for these girls.
More like the sea than a beach here currently
