A bit difficult watching a calf repeatedly getting its head stuck in a lamb bale feeder
Lovely couple but everytime she said " why do you keep getting your head stuck" i found myself saying "because your feeding cattle in a sheep feeder ffs"

Lad made a balls up with the new gate posts, why not get set up one day and have the concrete delivered the next, rather than put yourself under pressure and make mistakes which you will have to look at everyday.

Cant understand how tenants have the cash to go into farm and spend like that those holes take good half a metre of concrete why not just use crash barreirs and weld or bolt hanging every bit of kit there looks less than five years old just dont get how it stacks up 😲

Is it me or is there too many new people this year?

@Werzle I found myself shouting the same thing when the little Highland calf kept getting his head stuck!

If I done a cock up like that with the posts my old man would blow his top, cameras or not! The bleep machine would be going into melt down! 😂

that lassie with the dogs had better watch she doesn't get the reputation of Henson , two times she's been away leaving someone else to do the work!!!

I would suggest that the time Emma spends off playing with her dogs is integral to the survival of the farm, and likely a much better use of her time & skills than pee’ing about with a handful of rare breed cattle.;)

Her dog's will be subsidising the farm, she good at what she does, good luck to her. Wouldn't mind one of them pups, but i think they'll be out of my price range:rolleyes:

Good job the older chap, pointed out his errors and there was some head scratching

They did say last week that they had borrowed heavily to realise the dream, fair play to them. The house is a monster

Maybe the landlord is paying for it. Fixed equipment

Those acres in Sutherland were bare and what a faff moving those pens every time. I sometimes think crofters go out of their way to make life difficult for themselves! They were lovely though.
