This weekend at work!!!

Fitted brackets and the beam above fireplace then played jigsaw with some slate slabs!! Dry lined one wall and studded the other one out to square it and platerboarded it. Squared up and filled holes with Bonding in some other places and then bluegrit everywhere ready for plasterers when they come!!

On the way to town this afternoon spotted a local farmer with his spud gear parked up . Begging for a photo parked like that next to state highway 1.
No idea what the grader was there for.

Recognised the kit as I once operated some of it. Top chap to work for and still catch up regularly on the phone. Family friends son is working for him currently and loving it. Grader will be Geoff Moore’s at a guess

I’ve got these cattle on some silage now, with lots of red clover in it. I’ve cut the concs right back, as they weren’t that bothered to clean up and they were getting a bit loose.
Pretty much ad lib silage. How much 17% nut would you feed on top. They are 5 to 6 months old in one group, 7 to 8 in the other.
Don’t want them as far as butter, as they will go out to graze all summer.
@gone up the hill @Henarar @Northeastfarmer ?
decent looking cattle do you buy them in and fatten?

Well lifting beet hasn't happened.
East wind with minus temps equals frozen beet for a 2nd time :facepalm: I suppose when they are fit to go at least we might be able to travel. The cold wind has dried things a little.

So the other task for the day was attending this.

I can't "like" that. 45 is a tragedy.
