Well the calf off the TB cow has just died 🤦🏻‍♂️ treating her for a bad scour. Nothing out of the ordinary I thought. Then this morning she had gone back worse than she was 3 days ago, shot of steroid later and some more antibiotics. And she’s laid out cold as a stone.

Local vegetarian out of the row of houses I mentioned the other day has been out again. Picked up a lamb from the field, took it to a house down the road to warm the poor thing up. He rang us to say it was trying its best to knock the patio doors out it wanted away that much. The woman had told him not to put it back as “it’s obvious it’s mother didn’t want it and the farmer doesn’t care” get down there, lambs belly is full of milk and he’s a good weight. Take the lamb back up the field and there’s his mum doing an absolute fruit cos he’s not where she left him tucked away 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 will be making some BIG signs tomorrow to nail up around the place. I’m well and truly sick of this shite now.
 
After the day we’ve had here retiring to a desert island is a very attractive option, with or without the dusky maidens. The wife and the rum will likely suffice 🤩
I sometimes wonder if other people live like this
Been a bad day here too everyone in a bad temper if you didn’t move out of the way you would get run over here

Get a couple of strands of mains fencer against their gardens,stop them going in the fields.
 
Yeh been a tough gig today. Those showers would take your skin off. No surprise our pens are full tonight. Been at least 20 through the hot box.
Looking better for the rest if the week 🤞🤞🤞
Had problems here this morning I was in a bit of a bad mood to be honest all looked ok at 1am this morning when I went to bed I was knackered hadn’t been to bed since Friday night 3 cows calved last night by 7 am this morning I had lambs laid frozen off

Sell up, and move up here ! The haulage from Dingwall/Fort William and Stirling will be halved . And as leader and expert finisher amongst this fine gang of folk , you can be assured of a warm welcome to the north !
Just ask Mc @unlacedgecko , he loves it up here ! 😂👍

Ffs, what's wrong with people, I'd loose my temper with folk like that, glad I live where I do and don't have to put up with neighbours like that
