[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 8144326, member: 81760"] I should also add, things seem to be turning around now. The cows are performing fantastically well, I'm in the middle of service and so far so good. The calves seem to have recovered and are growing really well now. Not to mention I'm feeling much happier than I was a couple of months ago. This year was always going to be the year I get the farm how I want it, for instance: - the entire farm will be fenced and secure by the end of summer, - I will have a full system of cow tracks before the autumn, - All fields will have water troughs over the next few months - I have a heat detection system being installed in September - I will be block calving properly next year - I *hopefully* will have calf hutches ready to go before the autumn calving cows start - I will have a shed kitted out properly for calving, - The yard will be secured with gates - I will be doinf self-feed silage this winter, - New roof going on the traditional buildings so they are water tight - top yard being concreted to reduce the amount of slurry produced (will be diverted to river as it will then be clean water) - shed having drains installed so that it is useable - New dirty water pump - electrics being renewed (currently causing problems and not safe) - most of my reseeding will be completed this year (2/3 of the farm will have been done by the end of this year) I could go on, the point is I will be in a much better position by the end of this year. Its far from perfect right now but things are getting there and I can see life next year being a lot easier [/QUOTE]
