I never realised we needed to know what forage we needed for the Winter. I don't know where we would be without these "experts" to advise us with their knowledge. Next they will be telling us that we need to run a ram with the Ewes for them to have lambs.
They make a living stating the obvious, how do I get a job where all I do is Bullsh1t all day long.

Well, we all know Wales barely ever dries out...?

And the Senedd viewpoint doesn't ever go further North than the Heads of the Valley road so wouldn't know...
Wales the big country. Where you know if it isn't raining its about to rain!

All these stock consultants state the obvious, it’s just a job repeating bôllocks, good work if you can get it I suppose!! Like most experts or advisors most wouldn’t have a farm of there own an if they did generally they fail or are a shower of sh!t because they follow there own advice to the letter!
Did anyone see the group of sheep they had on the scops stand at the sheep do at Malvern, fecking terrible things, wanted a good French, if they were an example of where not worming your sheep gets you then it’s not for me

That's pretty shocking, that Suffolk mule? looks like it has had pneumonia or something.

Was this one of those "negative" displays.... As in "how NOT to look after sheep"?

I would have been embarassed taking stock like that into the Culls!

son has mentioned that every time he crosses the Severn Bridge coming home, it starts to rain! Thinking about it, I better ask him to come home for a few days.
Lived over the border for about 15 years. I always used to say if you couldn't see Rodney's pillar it was raining and if you could it was about to rain and it was true most of the time! Once you came over the border just outside of Shrewsbury it was destined to pour down 🤣

This would be the same Kite consulting that said that under no circumstances should farmers consider reducing inputs despite price rises. . . . .

And the same Kite Consulting that said a few years back that all dairy farmers should be targeting a debt per cow of at least £3k per cow or else you are weren’t moving forwards…….

Kite need to fly away…….
