Added bonus is you know your calf is healthy. I wouldn't be rushing out and buying a pile of the wee £5 calves. Dungannon yesterday the reasonable fres bull around £30

What age of calve is that at 30 quid

I never looked but I would guess 4-5 weeks.
35× 5=175 litres of milk fed@40p =£70

The maths never lie !!! You can get a turn on them if you keep them long enough but its a lot of work and expense for it ..
I feed them well for a month and then take whatever the make .
Best of luck to the next owner .

I finish all Bulls here. For the most part they are Angus and Blue but, sometimes sexed semen goes wrong and a wee man pops out. There is a turn in them, but the biggest challenge is space.

Doesn't matter what they're worth, when it's time to go get them away, blocked calf pens, more scour,more sickness, more expense, it's the wee girls you're really only need

John Laverty Armoy had them at a time.

Yes John has one and could get other types if you need

Something about a deeper seed bed for barley.

have you ever used the discs for grassland reseed

I ploughed, drilled in around 45kg of barley per acre and broadcast 30kg of grass seed after and then rolled. Never disced or min tilled, probably only reseed here every 20 years so land usually needs a level at that stage.

What are you doing putting on two bags of grasseed?

To be sure, to be sure.

Apologies, that should be 15kg. They recommend an extra 10% with undersowing and I normally go with more than a bag anyway.

Selective clip edited by the opposition. Watch the whole interview and he comes across quite different.

He's probably not a bad man, got caught at something silly and has had to resign, tory don't want by elections, that why that other deviant tory turd has lost the party whip but won't resign.

 

[The Agrarian]

Think it's a very different apology to the sort that Boris gives. The man has clearly been humbled by the experience, something that seems impossible for Boris. Considering the whole picture and how well thought of he is for his work as an MP and an influence on Agricultural Matters, on the whole I think his resignation is a loss for the country and especially agriculture.

[Conrod96]
