[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8201403, member: 86168"] lost, even with all our modern kit, there's still a place for 'instinct', which is really knowledge gained by our own experiences, and those learnt from the 'old boys' as we grew up, old codgers, or miserable old gits, depending how grumpy, the younger generations, think we are, have decades of practical knowledge, over a rapidly changing industry. I always say, we are a vibrant forward thinking industry, that regards new ideas, with suspicion, but rapidly absorbs them anyway, as for risks aversion, that simply doesn't exist in farming, everyday, we take massive gambles, we farm for the longer term, trouble is, we live in a short term society. But the basics of stockmanship, haven't changed, and a lot of that, is instinct. So, you 'young-uns' don't write us miserable old gits, off, to quickly, won't be long till you, become one. [/QUOTE]
