Spend hundreds of thousands on tractors and tackle that ends up costing you a fortune but won’t spend 3 grand on something that clearly works for others that will probably save you money and keep your cows healthier. Don’t get it myself.

Never feed more cake than a beast can clean up in 20 minutes. That’s what grandad always said.

Terror hawk bird scaring kites on fibre glass poles. Work very well here against intelligent birds like rooks and crows.

Ok I’ll get my coat!
