[QUOTE="Karliboy, post: 7153210, member: 82218"] Ended up deciding to cut another 3 acres of free 2nd cut grass in that silly steep field that I get on Monday night baled it Tuesday very green before rain. last cut 19th July I normally only take 1 cut off it and leave it at that to grow back in over winter as I can’t get stock to it but there was loads on it this time so I’ve robbed it but will put some muck on this year and give it 9 months to recover [ATTACH type="full"]909906[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]909908[/ATTACH] 10 bales in total There was a bit off a crappy 3/4 bale of the steep bit with a bit of soil from moles so put that out to cows on a steep mossy patch and spread out to rummage through see what happens. Will probably feed these bales straight out outside as cows will crap thin off it so better off outside rather than inside when trying to keep things dry.[ATTACH type="full"]909909[/ATTACH] In the holistic context of things of making things easier the new geared reels arrived. Seem decent enough [ATTACH type="full"]909907[/ATTACH] And bought a calving gate to go in another shed where I don’t have any yokes. Had to many near misses with cows moving around with calving aid out the back. Safety comes first now. [ATTACH type="full"]909905[/ATTACH] I need to have a proper study now around the farm to make things as easy and quick as possible for a one man band. Main reason being is that pops (my main help) is going to have isolate a lot more now as my kid brother has just been informed his brain cancer has returned for the 3rd time so is going through some more chemo treatment over winter and he’s his main carer so need to keep him away from as many bugs as possible. Plus I’ve got a young family now so even the misses can’t help right much as she has the little one to look after. Main problem is the weekly muck out of the cow shed which is a 2 man job. [/QUOTE]
