[QUOTE="Y Fan Wen, post: 3314548, member: 741"] I've got an errant picture in the above post so I'll try again; [ATTACH=full]449126[/ATTACH] First pic of the farmyard. Note the shingle surface. Dig down anywhere in the Camwy valley and you get sand and shingle just like on a beach. Mr Hughes said that this would be the last year we would see little bales on this farm. His accountant had told him he needed to spend more money and he decided to go to big bales and do away with the manhandling. Hence the brand new tub feeder sitting in the shed. [ATTACH=full]449146[/ATTACH] The silos hold the grain maize and his new big baler is next to them. Anyone know what the next red machine is? It seems to have a pickup reel. [ATTACH=full]449156[/ATTACH] This is the handling pens and loading ramp in the foreground. No ramps on lorries here. I saw a prefabricated ramp sitting in a dealers yard once. Note the roof over the handling crush. Gives a little shade to the operator and beast. How would you feel about 10-12 days rain every year? [ATTACH=full]449164[/ATTACH] When he gets a load of calves from the Andes it is not unusual to receive an old cow or 2 in the load. They go straight in the feedlot and are sold to the local s/h for local consumption, rather than to the export s/h which is where the young stock go. I didn't manage to get it in the pic but there is the original cow with a crumpled horn in that pen. [/QUOTE]
