Modesty forbids.....

I do not handle foals, and certainly wouldn't want them going through my pockets, if they get any food, it would be in a bucket. The only time they are touched are to stand for the farrier every six weeks, vet to have injections, and for worming.
I tend to buy after Christmas cheap foals that have been over handled, usually got a bit nippy, and got too big for their boots, they are stored like cattle, out in summer and in sheds in winter, with older animals that teach them manners. They are next to my cows, so really it's the same system.
I have had a shireX and draughtX, and big horses are no trouble, if like Highlands they do not realise how strong they are, are not allowed to push you around, and never put yourself in a situation where they can get away from you.

It's a splendid brown coat. I'm puzzled why a 4 month old foal isn't inquisitive and playing hunt the polo mint or asking for a scratch by the ear, but that's only going by my experience of my pony's foal umpty years ago. How do Suffolk Punches tick, and are draught breeds in general different in their temperament when young?

I cannot remember the last time I watched Countryfile, but when I turned the tv on this evening to be met instantly by @Suffolk Serf on screen I had to tarry a while.

Heartbreaking, well done for doing it though, did you put yourself forward or did they find you from somehow else?

They contacted me asking me to send in a bit of DIY film. When I didn't they decided to come on out.

Nearly as boggled as mine with the thought of you sending in a video of you doing DIY but I had too good a manners to say it (before)

Sorry i shouldve said , the Pigs looked cracking by the way , really good system for keeping them who can argue otherwise and yes it is very sad and wasteful to see people who obviously are so interested in and very skilled and consistently hard working at a job 'cast aside' .

 

[Bury the Trash]

bit quiet here Goodone tonight with Adam explaining very well the difference between organic and conventional...
...owned and rented message slipped in there as well if you want to get picky

 

[primmiemoo]

Jars to see it implied that cattle diets contain similar soya percentage to pig and poultry, but some good points made by the interviewees.

 

[ajcc]

A change of mindset from the BBC? Bit of a transformation programme wise tonight.

 

[Still Farming]

Good program tonight.
Interesting about New Holland Methane tractors and usage costs?

 

[Lincs Lass]

Our local farmer on about the Micanthus , Collin Chapel

Totally mis-education of the public yet again by the Beeb.
Even Adam getting it totally wrong.
Everybody now ‘not-in-the-know’ will think that Conservation agriculture just means Organic.

FFS BBC, can’t you get it right, just once for a change?

typical post by a whinging numbnuts lol.
Best you can do is get on a soap box and see if you can do better then

It was a good show and Adam did do well, so did the others .

Credit where and when its due .

 

[betweenthelines]

It was explained that both Regen and Organic systems have lower yields

Pity the didn't say how much consumer prices would have to rise to make either system financially viable for food producers.

Or who would decide who goes hungry when there isn't enough food to go round.
