[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7852489, member: 81760"] You're 100% right, the problem is this farm needed and still needs a lot of work to get it to being functional, I've spent an absolute fortune on it so far and just can't afford anymore, I'm paying a massive rent on the place under the condition that everything would work correctly but it's not, the landlord has said they'll sort the major issues in the next tax year so it's just trying to get through until then, an example being the parlour feeders either don't work at all or else work for about a week and then need to be taken apart and put back together, which I'm having to do weekly on most of them, the ones that don't work at all, I asked venture to look at and their exact words were that they're beyond repair and need replacing, this is one of the things the landlord is sorting in April but have to wait until then The annoying part about last nights antics is I spent all day yesterday working on the electric fencing and by milking time I had it kicking around the yard brilliantly (I know it was working because I got belted turning the dirty water system off), the reason they got out was because my bull took a fancy to a heifer and just obliterated anything in his path to get to her (2 broken feed barriers this morning as well) the cows know where the feed shed is as they have escaped into their twice before, after the first time I ordered 2 custom 20' gates at £250 quid each to stop the gap thinking I was being clever (they escaped again inbetween the gates arriving though) fast forward to today and the gates proved to be no obstacle for them :( [/QUOTE]
