You will need watch for signs of woody tongue

How long did it take to get him/ her out of the tree? Quite a job to do safely and quickly.

Couple of hours.

ah, but did he get the relevant permission, to damage a tree, check it wasn't under a tree preservation order, and what steps, did he take, to ensure the hfr was fed and watered, while waiting several days, for said permissions to arrive.

Will call him "Woody" now!

What a mission, well done! My wife watched your videos and said "I know some people like that, you cut them a whole lot of slack and they still wait to be bloody told!"

Our neighbour has one of those grab buckets on his tractor, similar story last year, steer thought it would be fun to poke his head through and caught by the lugs was the result - quicker fix though, remove the head and butcher the beast on-site, which is how we have a fair bit of beef to chew through yet.

If Rob had removed the head on that one and had it for the freezer, just imagine the horror accusations of the 'farmer carrying out pagen rituals' leaving cows heads in trees.
Never mind about the media coverage now, there would have been one hell of a story for future historians .
@Rob Garrett would have been a mythical legend.

Thankfully though a good outcome

Couple of hours.

Hell of a job. Well done and what a relief

I just love how this head in the tree thing has ended up on the Hole - istic grazing thread

 

[som farmer]

is it something that could go 'viral', perhaps some good promotion for farmers ?

No, someone will start going on about damage to the tree

 

[Henarar]

Couple of hours.

Make sure you cover the hole or fence the tree off or one with a bigger head will get inquisitive

 

[Kiwi Pete]

What it really wants is a large cuckoo to fly out and announce the hour

Then advertise said "Tree of Amazement" and let people see the tree for a tenner

Follow me for more financial advice

Reminds me of father rudely wakeing me up one sunday morning after a late night out, one of the milkers had a head stuck in a fork of a tree, he had to milk or we would miss the tanker.
Those were the days, could work all day after being out

Day one of Biofarm 2020 over, 4 more to go! I missed most of it working & parenting. Saw Greg Judys presentation though, got to love his style, keeps it simple and very effective.

He made an interesting point that there's lower lignin in grass underneath trees, than grass in full sun.

Oh dear

But less sugar in the shaded grass so it gets left and shat on as they lie there. iirc.

Given the condition of his cattle, and the figures he said he's getting for his stock - with sfa inputs - I'll heed his advice . They mentioned bringing him to Ireland, I'll be first in line!
