Me? Nope, feeding and bedding calves and then for calving pens. Fairly confident of a silage carry over this year

Not you particularly. Just those feeding it in general.

Not semen, but you dairy boys must have stopped spending money cos all the machinery salesmen who wouldn't normally darken a beef farmers door are crawling out of the woodwork now, have had quite a few here in the last month that I'd made enquiries with many months ago, wasting their fecking time now I hate to tell them.

That is one of the biggest changes I noticed when I started Dairy in addition to the beef and sheep, there is a constant stream of every sort of every sort of salesman/woman coming through the gates. I often toyed with putting a sign up with a list of the suppliers I use for everybody.

just seen a piece on BBC news about your NHS.
Can I just say how appallingly selfish your politicians are.

That's being very polite about them

They are all one of a kind which makes elections a farce, they say all right things beforehand but step back to old ways afterwards. Anyone got ideas what to do.

Anyone know where I can get a milking gown similar to the ones which came free with norbrook DC extra last 3 to 4 months but were light weight, dont want one that is heavy and can deflect x rays

John Steele has a lighter weight sort in stock(early Christmas pressie for my wife) she commented on how more comfortable to wear than my apron.

Its orange or green politics, we should be voting in people who want to get into government and work for hospitals, schools, jobs, roads, the things that should really matter to people, but when it comes to election time that all gets forgotten about and we go back to tribal politics and the same old faces get voted back in and we all know their history. Country folk might be persuaded to vote for less extreme parties but in the towns its not going to happen.
We are now over 1000 day without an assembly and it is strangling the country, the two extremes are stuck in the past and are prepared to stand by and let us do without rather than get on with what they get paid for, its time to pee or get off the pot.

Had him round a few times a couple years ago trying to sell big winner. Asked for a catalogue and he rumaged about in an old briefcase filled with empty crisp bags in his boot. Only had 1 photocopied page that couldnt give to me. Asked around at the time and I think the consensus was the straws would never appear or filled with milk
