had the day off...but still did 3hrs 'sheeping and caring'.....did have a little lie in......had a trail of 4x4 + trailers go past to ploughing match in next village....thought about going for 'jamb' round but didn't......neighbour had a contractor with edenhall beet harvester parked up possibly ready for monday start....i curse it's flail topper
spent resta day mooching....eating left over bhuna.....had a 'napping competition' with HH's cat....lost terribly...feck that cat can sleep
trawling tinterweb for possible maternal rams.....last innovis open day is thursday but feck me it's 274 miles away
...east west....literally north sea to irish.....don't fancy that tbh
....found an aberfield on sell my livestock in leics.....but 'digging around' the vendor seems to have been advertising him every yr since he got him so scratched thatmart report on website this afternoon...if true i'll be well pleased but don't entirely trust....we'll see

Possibly @robbie feels the only area he has more "skills" than you is small bale stacking. Perhaps it time for a Turkish face off!in the last week i've brought you 'phantom dog dumper'.....kittens....visit to turkish barber......fat lamb conundrums.....THEN i put a few bales a few cm off centre and thats the big talking point

Don't be fooled. That was a carefully choreographed one off, split second photo..... If he'd have followed it up with another pic 30 seconds later the race would have been empty and all you'd see is the last Sheeps bum vanishing through the hedge on the right!!!!!

WELL....i'm gonna let you 'in' on a little secret
....something i've discovered...i wasn't gonna say cos..well,,,it's a bit of a 'trade secret'
.....but i've found....sheep are not a lot of work if they stay in the right fieldtuesday
bloomin gander went for fd today...i had to intervene and he went for me
....bit early to start getting feisty......the geese divide their time between pulling straw bales to bits....the yards muddy puddle ...trying to eat the fat lambs food .....and ,if they get bored. a trip to the garden and the bird tablesorted the 'stalag' ewes out today....our 'category A' snot......22 to keep and 5 culls.....should be 21 and 6 but i spared 'humpy' the wiltshire horn cos she's an old fave
took 12 lambs to abattoir after lunch...two interesting snippets....1/ lairage chaps not allowed to go on trailers now cos there was an accident somewhere when a tailgate fell killing someone
..2/ i enquired about pigs...sounds like they can process them but can't sell themin other news the 'waterboard' ,who farm by contract, have had their beet to the south of me lifted....i'm relieved cos they next to my rather poor neeps.....my lot given the choice twixt 2nd grade neeps and 1st grade beet tops....i think we all know how that'dve gone

Re: tailboard. It was a real tragic accident.
A lorry on farm had a fault with the tailboard/lifting decks, I think it was to do with the hydraulics. The farmer pushed the tailboards shut with a loadall so the lorry could go and get it fixed.
The repair was done and the lorry went out to the next job, the driver got out to drop the tailboard to be able to back onto the ramp but because the tailboard had been lifted by the loadall and not under its own steam the rams were empty of oil and so had no resistance. Once the locks were released there was nothing to stop the whole lot coming down.
Such a tragedy and all very sad.
