I'm shamelessly bumping my own thread because after just reading through the agricultural matters section I feel just like I did when I first posted.
Fortunately I've just read a summary of meat sales for the last 3 years. This shows despite the loud delusional shouting of a group of people with an eating disorder (vegans) or a personality disorder (Chris Packham and his shower of acolytes) the reality is quite different.
The bullet points
In December 2021 there was a rise of 1% in red meat sales over 2020 which was in itself a record retail performance. When compared to 2019 sales were up 3%
During December 98% of households bought meat, fish or poultry
Lamb sales increased in both 2020 and 2021
Beef sales grew compared to 2019
99% of households bought a dairy product with sales volumes 5% up on 2019
Good news I would have thought!

Out having a drive around the farm this afternoon, counted 12 hares in one field. Weirdly enough one thats been sprayed off with glyphosate and the grass is all brown, could sprayed off grass be somehow particularly attractive to hares?

I managed to fix up one of those agri cameras, came down stairs yesterday morning to check sheep, loaded up on lap top while making a coffee, 1st image was a lamb lying flat out by a ewe, looked dead to me, so finished coffee and went outside,went to retrieve the lamb but to my amazement was now sucking the ewe. Was a nice surprise for a change.

I found a spanner that I had thought lost, and just before I was going to buy a replacement for it.
Not happened before, usually I buy a new whatever, then immediately find the original bloody thing.

Snap I lost the kvernland plough spanner. Couldn't believe the price of a new one so didn't buy. In January when the puddles at the bottom of the steading dried up I saw the outline of spanner in mud! Like winning the lottery!
I've just had some icecream.
It was a bit cold.

Ordered a hydraulic hose for the digger and it arrived today:
A great little touch from a company I use all the time, they are excellent to deal with.

I lost a hammer in the middle of a field, then the following year I found it when I had to catch a ewe that was having trouble lambing! And it was a free hammer as well (when I worked on Russian Tractors, they didn't use to give the tool kit with the tractors, so I had a couple of the hammers!).I found a spanner that I had thought lost, and just before I was going to buy a replacement for it.
