[QUOTE="Cowcorn, post: 8150855, member: 107020"] Doc , forget livestock their not really your thing maybe because you are to kind to implement the ruthless kiwi sheep techniques that seem to be in vogue . Many years ago when sheep headage payments were first introduced my father and i went on a tour down to Carlow to Teagascs Knockbeg demo farm to see how to manage and farm sheep profitably . It was a great day out and if i remember correctly barley and beet were grown to supply winter feed and straw and as entry for new leys . A sheep shed was a crucial part of the equation as a the ewes were housed as soon as the lambs were weaned and fed straw to stop them getting over fit . Anyway on the bus home i asked the auld fella what did he think would it be a runner ?? He replied " it would if it was in ye, but not for us were machinery men the would only leave us in the mental " .. And so are you Doc so are you ..... [/QUOTE]
